Friends & Family week: part 1 State Fair '08












We were fortunate enough to welcome Aunt Ann and Uncle Ken to town to join us for our 2nd annual trip to the MN State Fair. Even though the skies were somewhat ominous, we managed to have alot of fun at the fair. Greta loved the animals, particularly the "bebe caoww" (that's baby cow for those of you that don't speak gretalese). We saw other fun stuff too...like the butter busts of the dairy queens...but mostly we ate. Well, most of us ate. Greta slept while the big peeps ate. We guided my Aunt & Uncle through the fair favorites: cheesecurds, leftsa, walleye on a stick, fried snickers on a stick...my uncle even sprung for ostrich on a stick (not a whole ostrich of course). Enjoy a few pics of our fun at the fair! PS..you can see Greta's new cute handmade apron with matching tablecloth and napkins that Aunt Ann brought her...she began cooking immediately...mama is feeling very hopeful about this.......

Eleanor, Tyler and Gboo,
We had so much fun with you. Uncle Ken doesn't have any lasting effects due to Ostrich/fried snickers eating! What fun! The Minn. State Fair was just amazing. Thanks for sharing your time. We liked the bookstore too. Still wondering about that chicken on the loose. How about that FAIR HAIR too??? Love, Ann and Ken
