This weekend we went to Salmon Days in Issaquah. We met up with the Sperrys and the Ayalas! I had not been to Salmon Days since it was located in Old Redmond. I must have been about 10 or 11 years old because all I remember about this event was that I bought a doll. This was no ordinary doll that could be purchased at Toys R Us. This was a special doll. It was a homemade doll. It was made out of panty hose and cotton. Yep. Her skin was tanned, naturally, as panty hose are often a dark brown or black. Now that I think of it, she may have been considered an African American doll :-) I named her Sarah and I carried her around with me everywhere I went. Wait, is that normal for a 10 or 11 year old? Maybe I was younger... Hmmmm.
Anyway, we checked out all of the booths (no dolls that resembled Sarah unfortunately), took the kids to the play area (what a disaster) and searched and searched for something healthy to eat (sorry Vauxy). Later that afternoon, we went back to the Sperry's for a BBQ.
Loving the wagon (all I could think about was the number of kids who have touched this thing. Love being a germ-a-phobe. Works really well for me at fairs and big events :-)
Look at that mad house behind us. Didn't really feel like losing our kids...
So the play area was short lived
