State Fair Pictures
Pictures from the land of livestock, fried food on a stick, overpriced rides, and the 40-foot colon…
They had a pond stocked with bluegill and catfish with DNR people helping kids learn how to fish. Not many were biting during our time there.
I’m not sure what this was all about…
Sitting in a combine
Alyson got to ride a horse
She got all excited when a burro started following her on her horse
Bumper cars and roller coasters. shhh…. The roller coaster attendant let Aiden ride for free. 
We were walking through the mule exhibit, about to start making our way back to the car. Suddenly, this lady walks up to Christy and starts looking at her. She doesn’t say anything for a minute, and we wonder if she’s someone we’re supposed to know (she had that look…you know – “Hey! Don’t you recognize me?” – that kind of look). Finally she says, “Would you mind if we put your kids in our wagon and they were part of the opening ceremonies for the show that’s about to begin?” Although we really wanted to go (we were hot, tired, thirsty, sore, you name it), we agreed. The kids had fun and I doubt they’ll ever do something like this again.
There they go…
Sorry, Melissa. We didn’t make it into the pavilion with the super colon. I’m disappointed. I’m sure there was some kind of picture we could have come up with involving a 40-foot colon.

I am making a huffy breath of disappointment at you RIGHT NOW!
See my new post. Does that help ease the pain at all?
