I took a day off from work, because we wanted to go to the Minnesota State Fair on a weekday, and this was the only chance before Annalise was in school!
The kids wanted to try something new this year, that they have been talking about since last year's fair: The River Rapids Ride. Because Colin was too small to ride this year, I went on the ride with A and B. We had a great time, and the wet clothes were quite refreshing on the humid Friday we chose to be our fair day. Friday was Day #2 of the fair, and set an attendance record, just like Day #1, and we could tell- the fairgrounds were packed!
One of Annalise's favorite things at the fair is actually this spin the wheel game in the Cattle Barn. She likes it because you win a prize no matter what. I guess it appeals to her sense of equality. (Is she going to be a Democrat?)
Daddy took the big kids on the giant slide, while Mommy and Colin got a nice cold pop and watched. Bennett was on the burlap too, he's just hidden behind Mike, and he liked it that way.
I can't wait until next year when Colin will be able to do more things. He certainly can eat with the big kids though. We couldn't dole out the cotton candy fast enough!
He really was at the fair with us, we just didn't get many pictures, and he spent most of the time in the stroller due to the large crowds. He did not like to be too close to the cows, and really liked looking up at the sky ride, and trying to jump up to touch the sky ride cabs. He even fell asleep, which shocked us, and it was unfortunate that it happened while he was taking a turn in the front seat of the stroller, instead of the cave-like backseat.
