Enumclaw King County Fair

Ignoring Enumclaw's sordid past, it was a really cute place. Really nice and clean. The fair was a blast. It was great fun. Emily enjoyed the dogs, got licked by a cow and got to ride a pony. She also got a pet a cat that was dressed up like an astronaut including a helmet made out of a sweat sock.

Sheep



More sheep, I was bummed because they weren't wearing their KKK outfits.


And more sheep.



Piglets


This pig was 11 years old, it was asleep I hope.



Alpaca, we petted this one and then it burped.

I don't know how this one could see.



Another Alpaca.



This goat looked like Dave, it's teeth were showing.



Pony ride. I was walking with her because her Daddy was afraid she was going to fall off. Beautiful Enumclaw in the background.



More pony ride.



Still riding.



Did I mention we took a pony ride?



Emily likes ponies.

She's got her Flippie Floppies...

Mom's Retirement Party

Here we are in the executive conference room for Mom's retirement party. Thirty years at Boeing. Her boss gave a nice speech in which Emily was interjecting with her normal cheerful quips.

Mom and friends

The tail end of it, Emily was enjoying the snacks.


Rockband with Mom's Group

There are so rarely pictures of me on this blog I thought I would add these my neighbor Tanya took of me at our mom's groups Rockband party.

Here is me rapping!







Drums are hard. Sandie hosted, she's great at this game.







I love the bass. It's on the easiest setting, but I am still struggling.
