The forecast for this year's State Fair in the Valley was rainy and cold as usual. So we packed up the kids and gear and made the trek to Palmer only to find clear skies and a little bit of sunshine and warmth. With grandma Gail visiting from Hawaii, we had an extra set of hands and eyes to help keep an eye on the little ones. After posing for a family photo with a yellow boa we cruised the various displays and headed toward the petting zoo and Alaska Grown Gigantic Vegetable Contest. On the way, Steve and Reyn made a salmon painted t-shirt while Nalani and I checked out the cookies.
