From Wenatchee we headed South to meet the rest of the Jewett clan for the
Kamas County Fair in Fairfield, Idaho.
We visited the old Rail Road Depot that Nana lived above when she was a girl.
Then we were off to the activities at the fair!
Climbing Cousins
Jumping Josies
Posing Cheese Balls
Umm, Ninja Turtle Face Painting (?)
While climbing this slide with her cousins, Josie turned around and called down to me, yelling,
“Mom, this slide smells like Gubler feet!”
One of the highlights of our time in Fairfield was playing “Empire” with the family
at the Prairie Inn.
We celebrated all the summer birthdays at Jim Dandy’s, the pizza place.
We enjoyed the parade
(both times around)
Grandpa got to visit with his babysitter, on whom he had a crush some 60 years ago!
And we had a general good time just hanging out together!
After our very eventful 18 day trip
we finally got home.
We celebrated Tre’s third birthday!
At some point while in Wenatchee with Grandpa, Tre saw an Elmo cake in Safe Way.
Once we got home, that was the cake he declared he wanted.
The chances that we would be able to find a gluten free, dairy free Elmo cake that matched his memory of the
Safe Way cake was slim.
So, I tried to create something for him…
Its amazing how forgiving a three-year old can be when you engage him in the creative process.
It was disgusting. The frosting, the cake, the final outcome.
But, he ate it and loved it.
A few weeks later,
we had a bunch of Firsts!
Tommy ended his tenure at Valley Mental Health before our trip and began a new
career at Wasatch Mental Health.
Josie began Kindergarten!
And Tre began his first year of Pre-School.
