State Fair 2013

My favorite time of year...State Fair time! We did a lot of our traditional things.

The kids got to work on a farm.

And check out fun new toys.

 They even got to go fishing.

Paul Bunyan

American Gothic

Craft time in the Eco Building.

The kids just love these things.

Posing next to Goldy the Gopher.

 Can't forget about the food. Our favorite fries.

Our favorite malts.

Having fun watching newborn animals.

 Ok, back to the food. We tried poutine to whet our appetites for the real thing in Quebec this fall.

Two little piggies :)

Newspaper hats from the Free Press building.

 Fun times on the giant slide.

And more food. One of our favorites...fried pickles with ranch dip. Yum!

Now we're talking. Sweet Martha's Cookies. Nothing better with all-you-can-drink milk.

Every year when we walk through the Midway, someone gives the kids something they won there. Every year! It's great, we don't need to spend the money but the kids get a prize. They've gotten stuffed animals, balls, glow wands, and this year the money bat. I guess beggars can't be choosers. They loved it!
