Puyallup Fair

for the last few years, the kids' favorite part of the fair has been the homesteading area where they can pump water, do laundry on a washboard, churn butter, grate carrots on a tin washtub poked with holes, saw wood and grind grain.  they usually spend over an hour there!  they usually get a couple of rides and of course see the animals!

IVECCS

enjoyed IVECCS (international veterinary emergency and critical care symposium) in its usual place of san antonio this year.  the riverwalk gets a little boring - but it is alwasy fun to see friends from across the country!

love my crazy cat roomie's tag on her purse.
