State Fair!

We took Rose to the State Fair today. She pretty much thought it was the coolest place ever! Where else can you...

...eat cheesecurds for first breakfast?

Followed by apple pie with cinnamon ice cream for second breakfast?


And then do lots and lots of people-watching, see a free concert by the Okee Dokee Brothers, look at lots of exhibits (blue ribbons!), and then pass out before even getting to the animals (or eating lunch)?

And then wake up 90 minutes later for geese and rabbits and sheep and pigs and cows?!?

(For the record, Rose LOVED the cows the best.)

And where can Daddy get multiple flights of beer?


And where can Mommy can take lots of goofy cell phone pictures (since she brought her fancy camera, but left the memory card at home - d'oh!)?

Answer: Only at the great Minnesota get together!!!


We'll see if this becomes an annual tradition for us, given how much fun we all had. We were pretty tired by the time we got home (six hours in glaring sun and humid, 90-something degree heat will take it out of ya!), but that didn't stop Mike from making an amazing dinner of lake trout, fried zucchini, garlic bread, and corn on the cob. Rose really got into eating if off the cob. :)


I'm exhausted and off to bed. Have a great week, everyone!
