However, I do have a handful of state fair pictures! Oh, the great MN State Fair! The real reason my husband eagerly packs up the car with 4 squirmy children, and endures the long car ride up north! Yes...all for a fair! Some years I think he's just plain crazy to love the fair that much, but I have to admit we do always have fun! At the end of the day that's all that really matters anyway.
This year our friend Michelle spent most of the day at the fair with us (and ALL day at the mall with us!), and she lived to tell about it! She was such a trooper, and SO very patient with us and our troop of small children. However, I'm not surprised that Michelle was such a good sport considering the "good stock" she comes from ;-). Her parents (Hi, Bob and Irene!) always host our family when we make the trek up north & they are the most gracious and giving hosts anyone could ask for. We've come to love them like our second family & always look forward to getting to spend time with them. It also helps that they have known my husband since the day he was born & have a great sense of humor when it comes to surviving a visit from a family with 4 very small children. Not many people could host a family of 6 and keep their sanity in tact, but Bob and Irene make it look easy (which I know it's anything but easy!). So, here is a HUGE....H-U-G-E thank you to our friends "The Stahl's", for once again welcoming our family into your home and being such wonderful friends to us. I know these trips to your house are the kind of family memories that my children are going to take with them and cherish forever. We love you guys!

Judah likes his first trip to the fair!
Peach scone with sweet cream & iced coffee.
Happy girls.
Michelle and I pulling stroller duty.
Kiddie Midway!
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!
Roasted sweet corn!
Miracle of birth barn. This is so cool (if you are into farm animals giving birth!). We always end up spending a lot of time in this barn every year because the kids are fascinated with all the baby animals. In years past we have seen live births of calves, lambs, pigs, and baby chicks hatching. We didn't get to see any births this year, but we did get to pet lots of baby animals :-).
The girls waiting to see a chick hatch.
Ice cream + Maya = cute!
Caramel apples with cinnamon ice cream-so delish!
Cotton candy!
Snow cones with dad.
More kiddie Midway fun!
What an exhausting day!
We had to get Sweet Martha's before we left! That $14 worth of "I think I'm gonna be sick now" cookie goodness!
That's Jon saying: "For the love of Pete...have we had enough sugar today?".
