This past weekend our family visited the Yakima fair. I haven't been there since I was a kid and it was a lot of fun. If you've never been, check out their website... http://www.fairfun.com/fair/about_us/fair_history.asp . Living so close to Monroe and actually living in Monroe for over 6 years we naturally took the kids to the Evergreen State fair, but this year we opted to go here. It is a lot like Evergreen State Fair, but much more spread out. We parked at the Target shopping center and rode the city bus FREE to the fairgrounds - it was great!
Being in Yakima was nice. It's home. Although, Seattle area is home too - I was able to go to the cemetery and see my Dad's burial site. They haven't gotten his marker up just yet, but I know it will be nice when they do. I dropped off some Orange Lilly's for him and Yellow one's for my Grandma.
On a up beat, I think I am going to use this blog or maybe start another blog to post my Montessori idea's, materials, and links. I see there are a lot of parents out there that want to give their kids a head start in their pre-school years before they reach school age; yet cannot afford to do so. I feel education should be free to anyone whom wants to presue, it and therefore want to use any resources I have to help that become more of a reality.
