The Country Fair

After the Mariner's game we headed up to Bellingham for three days. We had a relaxing time and enjoyed seeing our friend Jennifer and her family, Jay's family, exploring Bellingham and then going to the Whatcom County Fair. Jay was super excited to take me, the city girl, to the fair as I have been to very few. Jay's brother Joel, hooked us up with some great tickets for the Demo Durby, which was a very loud but a fun experience. We ran into our friend Deb Slater, I was able to meet several of Jay's friends from school, visited the many animal barns, we hooked up with the nieces and took them on some rides, and the highlight for me was we saw a Cow giving birth. That was quite the experience, but pretty cool! The fair was great, and I have a feeling it will be an Allen Annuel tradition. Here are some pictures from our trip.


The Demo Durby

I love this cow, he is Scottish. =-)

A momma pig and her babies.

This lamb, I don't remember exactly what is was called, cracked me up. He kept baaing as I took pictures and he had hay all over him. Too funny!!!!

Jay and our friend Deb Slater

The new born baby calf. =-)

The momma and her baby. =-)



Jay wanted to get me on a tractor. Doesn't that sound like a country song. =-) We thought this was a really cool one, and it turned out that it was Judy's (our sister-in-law) family's tractor.


Jay, Annika and Alyssa had a blast on a few rides.
