State Fair 2013

We went to the first day of the MN State Fair this year, just the kids and I. We arrived about 7:45 and left about 1:30. Sooooo tired, and happy. 

We...
saw all the animals, of course *
watched a few horses jumping fences in the Colosseum
petted horses, dogs, rabbits
played in the water displays in the Eco Building
gaped at the big pond of MN fish
walked thru the DNR still-life of MN animals



drank all-you-can-drink chocolate milk for $1


rode some rides (first year for us to do this)


(another ride)

Also, we...
went down the Giant Slide*
saw seed art*
rode the trolley (because the gondola was broken)
watched a Husky demo
saw a pair of 5-minute-old twin lambs

And we ate...
frozen apple juice*
cotton candy
cheese curds
pizza on a stick
comet corn (liquid nitrogen frozen carmel corn)*

Next year, my goals include...
the lumberjack demo
the parade at 2:00
the 4H building
the gondola

*my personal favorites
