This past weekend we celebrated Mommy's 30
th Birthday with our wonderful friends and family with a crazy 80's party. The next day a group of us attended the Salmon Days
festivities downtown
Issaquah. We have been attending the festival for the past 5 years and enjoy it in a whole new way now that Clara can have so much fun, too. This year we had beautiful weather which was glorious, but it also meant Salmon Days was SO much busier. Everything had a long line and it was especially hard to get around with strollers.
Mommy was so excited for Clara to have her first pony ride. We beelined for the kid area and got in the lengthy line for the horses. Unfortunately some other children were enjoying these silly balloons (the same type that upset her so much at the Neighborhood Music in the Park event) that take off like helicopters in the vicinity. Clara
immediately noticed them and got hysterical. She was tired from the night before and was getting close to nap time and this combination made it impossible to convince her that the pony ride would be fun. Instead, Daddy took her for a little walk out of the children's portion of the festival. Cousin Taylor did get to ride the pony and seemed to really enjoy it!
Later in the day, Daddy & Clara went for a ride on the little train with Uncle Matt and Cousin Taylor.
On the
Choo Choo Train
In our opinion, the best treat of Salmon Days is getting to see all of the fish, especially the ones that are jumping. It is so
spectacular and really gets Uncles Matt & Ryan and Grandma Mark excited.
Julie, Dan, Matt, Taylor, Grandma, Grandpa & Ryan. Auntie Pat, Uncle Mike, Papa Bob and
GiGi Wanda also joined us, but we make too big of a group to stick together in the large crowd.
Clara & Taylor liked getting out of their strollers and climbing on the kids play
equipment.
I loved this fun photo of Taylor with Clara in the background. It kind of sums up their sweet little relationship as Clara will follow Taylor around all day and is willing to copy everything she does.
Clara found this little train car climbing toy and just liked sitting inside of it. She was in there for like 15 minutes before we had to drag an unhappy kiddo out!
All in all, we had another fun time this year at Salmon Days. It really is such a beautiful time of year and we are all thankful for such a neat community. It makes it better when our family comes from out of town to share in the fun. Hopefully, next year Clara will ride a pony!
