On Wednesday, M&M Dad and I took the day off to have some family fun at the State Fair. Starshine remembers every favorite thing, but since we didn't go last year, the concept was a bit fuzzy for Jr. Princess.
We always start off at a Park n Ride:
- They are very convenient (and free)
- The girls think the bus ride is super fun because they don't have to be in car seats.
Well, this bus was standing room only and the girls COULD NOT BELIEVE that we got to stand on the bus the whole way (quite controversial for the uber-strapped in youth of today). We didn't get any good pictures, though, because we each had a hand on a kid as the driver was a little erratic.
We headed straight for the little kids farm (their favorite)...
And we posed for pictures in several dozen tractors and lawn equipment (this one's for you Grandpa L!)
We hit all of the animal barns, which everybody loves. We also always go to the DNR building for some great Minnesota themed posters for the girls rooms. Here we are posing in the state flower - the ladyslipper...
The favorite treat was the $1 all you can drink chocolate milk. The girls COULD NOT BELIEVE I let them fill it up 8 or nine times. (Live it up for a day).
We were quite bushed by the afternoon bus ride home - thank goodness there were open seats...

Hi Starshine and Jr Princess
Milk must really make you grow! I remember going to the state fair with you two years ago and the tractors looked much bigger.. . Or you were much smaller.
Glad you had such a good time. We had a great time in California.
Love, Grandma L
