The Minnesota State Fair

Still trying to catch up...:( In August we went to the Minnesota State Fair. We went growing up and I LOVE IT. Darl probably thought I was a little strange for how much I talked about it and how excited I was, then he went and understood. I believe its the second biggest (measured by visitors) in the country after Texas, but they also hold theirs for longer than the Minnesota one. This year over 1.7million people went during the two weeks it was open. We went with some of my family and had a blast!

Looking at some of the animals with Aunt Mary:

We showed Abigail the true way to do the fair: mini donut in one hand, chocolate chip cookie in the other:

We go to the fair to eat:)

See note above...

We loved this slide growing up. Abigail was scared and didn't want to go on it, until she started going down it the first time and she loved it and went a couple of times!

Its exhausting getting pushed in a stroller:

Two cute dudes: 

We took this picture in honor of Lisa who loves S'mores. At the fair you can find all kinds of things to eat on a stick:

Abigail loved looking at the cows and horses and sheep...but  the butterfly in the butterfly garden scared her. No joke.

We had a great time!
