Usually the state fair is given the nickname "The Great Minnesota SWEAT Together", but this year we went on just about the perfect day. Cool in the morning, nice in the afternoon. I don't think any of us felt "hot" until we got in our car to go home.
We rode the bus to the fair. It picked us up in Eden Prairie, so we had a nice 40 minute ride to St. Paul. We got there about 9:30 or so and headed to our first stop. There were some kid's events in Carousel Park, and we made it early enough to get a free kid's CD, and since it was "Library Day" the kids each got to pick out a free book.
From there we went straight to the rides. I had pre-purchased ride tickets at a discount so I wanted to make sure we got them used up. It was a great day for rides - no lines, no waiting. And this year they could both go on ALL the rides. (Not that they DID all the rides, but they COULD have. :) )
Sorry - this is through Plexiglas...you can see he really likes it though! We ate burgers and fries and a milkshake for lunch. I'm a bit sad that I skipped the cheese curds and corn on the cob, BUT we were able to eat lunch for $11 for the 3 of us, and there's always next year. Then we found some cookies and a smoothie.
Katie and Will each got lots of free pencils and each a pair of sunglasses. We also caught a random show at the family stage - a ventriloquist which kept the kids laughing with his funny bird.
Check back tomorrow for more fair pictures....the kids each did a bungee jump on a trampoline. :)
