Spokane Interstate Fair

Every year for my birthday the great city of Spokane puts on a fair -- okay, it's not for me, but it is always on my birthday. :) One of my favorite birthday traditions is to go and enjoy the sights, sounds, and smells of the Spokane Interstate Fair. No matter your age, it's good fun for all.

Hunter got to see a REAL race car!! Dale Earnhart Jr.'s car!!

We decided to try out the Demolition Derby this year. That was interesting, and we probably won't waste our money on it again next year.

The kids aren't totally sold on the rides yet, so we decided to start out small. Hunter thought it was so cool to drive around and around in a circle. Shianne, on the other hand, did not! lol...



We decided to try something a little more "thrilling" for Shianne's sake, and put them on this rollarcoaster. It was a huge hit with both of them!


Shianne still wanted to try something a bit bigger, so we went with the Yo-Yo. This used to be one of my favorites as a kid. Once they got in the air though, she looked like she wanted off. She did good and toughed it out, but afterwards said it was a little too high for her. Maybe next year...



Of course, no day at the Fair is complete unless you ride on the Merry-go-round.




Another year at the Fair - and another birthday - in the books!
