After watching Mackenzie march in the parade yesterday we all went to the Evergreen State Fair. Mackenzie went with all the band kids and we went together and had a great time.

Steve, Brooklyn and Grandpa entered the "Homemade Ice Cream" contest. They had three teams and "Team
LeBaron" was one of them. They gave them all the ingredients for hand cranked - homemade ice cream. They were given a vanilla based ice cream and then added fresh strawberries, blueberries and raspberries. They each took turns hand cranking it.

And guess what? Team
LeBaron won first place! Here they are with their first place ribbon! We each got a big cup full of their yummy ice cream and it was really good.

Our favorite part of the fair is going to see all the animals. Here is Brooklyn with a goat named Ellie! Ellie loved Brooklyn's necklace and kept trying to take a nibble out of it!

Grandma, Brooklyn and Grandpa with the goats.

Brooklyn and Steve rode on this crazy ride called the "Zipper". Brooklyn loved the ride but Steve wasn't so sure! The ride turned them completely upside down and all of the lose change in Steve's pocket came falling out! We had a great time at the fair and it was fun to share it with Grandma and Grandpa.

You are having too much fun these last few weeks of summer. CONGRATS!! Way to go to the Lebaron team for winning first place in your ice cream. Sounds so yummy, hopefully you can share your secret recipe with us. I would love to try it out. Love all the fun photos, Brooklyn looks cute with the goats.
I totally remember the first (and LAST) time I rode the zipper ride--my coins fell out of my pocket too and then continued to pelt me in the head throughout the rest of the ride. I feel Steve's pain. :)
