Clark County Fair

On Friday August 5 we were able to go to the Clark County Fair in Vancouver, WA. This was the first time that I had been back to the fair since 1999! It was also going to be the first time that Ryan was going to go, but he had to fly back for work so we got to go with the help of my parents. Friday morning was opening day so they had a free pancake breakfast and free admission between 8-11. We got there about 10 and ate about 11. The boys ate really good too. Then it was time to go on the rides! Grandpa Dave took Tyler to do on the little kid rides while Grandma Sharla pushed Brock around in the stroller as Riley and I got to do all the big rides.
The first ride that Riley wanted to do was the ring of fire. I don't think I have ever been on it and it wasn't the best ride to go on right after breakfast! It rocks back and forth 4 times and on the 5th time you barely go around and then you go around for a few times and then you barely make it over and then it switches directions. Riley got scared and I don't think we'll ever go on it again, but it sure was fun!


We did several other rides and Tyler was able to go on a couple of the bigger rides.




It was overcast in the morning, but was great in the afternoon! We ate lunch with my parents and then went to see the animals and spent a good hour doing this. All 3 boys loved seeing all the different animals and were able to pet them.








At 4 we went back to the house so that Brock and Tyler could sleep. Of course, they slept in the car and as soon as we got back they were wide awake again. So I left Brock with my parents and took Riley and Tyler back and we stayed until 9:00. We all loved it...the only one missing was Ryan!
