minnesota state fair

Per annual tradition, we piled into the Pathfinder as a family of five plus two grandparents and headed north to the state fair (and met the Ahlness family of six, Amy, and Megan!). To say I despise hot/humid weather is putting it lightly, so the fact that it was a million degrees everyday last week was scaring me away from the fair this year, but on Labor Day, the humidity ceased and the cool air blew in. Actually, my toes were icicles for the first couple hours, but the sun shown through by the afternoon and it was a beautiful day for the fair! Good food, fun rides, and great company.
