Benton Franklin Fair - Part 1

My sister Karrie and I have a tradition of going to the fair in Tri-cities, WA. Its our one day to spend as much money as we want on greasy food and to act like goofy teenagers again. Last year I was pregnant and couldn't make it so I had been looking forward to this for 2 years. We always have a dare that we have to do and this year we got them on video. That will be part 2 of my post though.

The freaky cow girl lady. Her hand was so big and warm.


Karrie all dolled up before we left. I just love her hair in this picture.

We went to look at the pigs. We got in the pin and the sinkin pig was biting my leg! We couldn't stop laughing, we were trying to be brave and although you cant tell, I was pretty scared. I don't think Karrie was afraid though. She was in 4H. I on the other hand have seen too many scary movies were the pigs eat the people.


NICE PIGGY....


Karrie and her family entered in lots of stuff this year. Here she is showing off her blue ribbon for a scrap book page she did. You go girl!!


Mmmmm.... Funnel cakes. This was both of our favorites.


Look who we ran into. Jordan and his good friend Justin. These two were our toys this year. We had so much fun playing with them. Whenever we got bored we just looked for them and somehow found something fun to do.

This was very fun! I highly recommend it. Karrie... stop giggling!!!

Silly faces
OK, this time just smile. (ahhh.. that Justin!!! He made us laugh so much.)
Then onto the concert. Clint Black. A country singer.
We ran into my crazy aunt, my drunk uncle and all the other weirdos that I am related to. It was lots of fun.

We grooved big time at the concert. One lady kept glaring at us because she thought we were being rude.... but COME ON!!!


After the concert we got bored and couldn't find the dream tellers so we decided to go spy on Jordan and his friends. Here is Karrie walking all sneaky like.

We spotted him. We had to be velly velly sneaky.


He was totally flirting with this girl. It was fun to watch him. Yes we are creepy.
Then they spotted us. Here he is with Justin and Mackenzie.

I LOVE this kid!! I still picture him as a little 4 year old doing cart wheels and back flips.


By the way, we got sham wows!!!

and yes we LOVE them!!

When we were headed out to our car to go home this is the scene we fell upon in the parking lot. They were surrounded by sheriffs on horses. At first I thought they were in some sort of trouble, but I guess Justin just left his lights on and needed his battery charged.


The next morning Jordan comes home with a henna tattoo. This is like a week before his mission. He is such a dork! I think they last for at least a few weeks. This is such a Jordan thing to do though.


Stay tuned for the dare videos. Justin, Mackenzie,Jordan and of course, Karrie and I all did dares. They are pretty funny. I had so much fun at the fair and I am already looking forward to next year. Love ya sis!

One year while at the fair I had a pig attack me. It scared me half to death. The pig jumped up on me and hit me so hard it left scratches and bruises all over my chest. Out here there are wild pigs and they can be pretty mean and dangerous!
