2008 State Fair!

Max's 1st experience on the Fair Space Tower!  Papa said he kept saying, "Oh, wow!"

Here is a link to last years picture...what a big boy he is getting to be!
Mama and Max on the Big Slide!!  I was a little worried that I was going to have to carry him up all those stairs, but he was so excited to walk up them and he did great...as you can see, there were A LOT! 
He laughed the whole way down and then he wanted, "Mooore!  Mooore!"
Mmmmm...a nice cold treat!
You mean I can eat the cone??!  Oh wow!

Well, we had a blast at the MN State Fair again this year.  This is 2 for 2 for me!  I hadn't gone in so many years.  I guess once you have kids...it becomes fun again!

Anyway this year we went with our good friends and neighbors, Tom & Michelle & their 2 boys.  We ate and ate and walked and ate and ate...see the pattern?!  I'm pretty sure I packed on all the calories I'm supposed to consume over a week in 1 day at the fair!  Eeeks!  But, my tummy sure did enjoy it!

As you can see above...we had a great time.  We got there about 9:30 or so and stayed until around 3pm.  Max skipped his nap and got pretty hot, tired, and a little crabby towards the end...but all in all he did pretty good.  He naturally got tired of sitting in his stroller and wanted to get out and run...so I made him hold my hand and he did.  Which...I LOVED because he's never been much of a hand holder.  :)

By the end of the day...I had a nice grease stain on my right boobie from a taco and Brad had a chocolate stain on his left chest from Martha's cookies.  We were quite the pair!  I guess that's another sign that the fair was a success!  At one point Brad teased me and told me that maybe one of the carnies would give me a free ride because he'd feel sorry for me because of my stained shirt.  Nice.  LOL!

Thanks for a great day, TMB&K!!!
