The year of first is obviously going to be hard. So I did my best to fill it with as many distractions as I could. I decided Cameron's birthday needed to be big and it needed to be fun. The ironic thing is, this was the most celebrated birthday for him since him and I have been together. More people showed up to his first birthday since he was gone than when he was actually here. Funny how that works...anyway. I think it turned out perfect. I felt him so much all day and I know he was there with us celebrating right along. I don't know if I will go all out every year of keep it simple from here on out, but I just know for the first year without him, this was perfect.
Let's face it. This will Always be the Puyallup Fair. I don't care if it is the WA State Fair now haha. Mom and I took the kids to a fun day riding horses, rides, and doing other fun things. We missed the fair last year with it being shut down, so this was really Tyler's first experience with it. We had a great time.
My mom had this tradition with us that on the last day of summer vacation we would do something extra fun. I loved that idea and decided to continue it with my kiddos. I let Riley pick and she picked the WA State Fair. Well...the dang fair is closed on Tuesdays (which happened to be our last day of summer). So she went with the Hands on Children's Museum in Olympia. This museum is one of the coolest places if you have kids. We easily spend 6 hours here and it goes in the blink of an eye. We decided to get a season pass because even though it is an hour drive to get here, it is totally worth it.
