On A Stick!






The last Wednesday in August we took Emma to the Minnesota State Fair. Earlier that day she had her 5 year old checkup. She is growing like a weed. I will have to pull out the stats and post those once I find them again.
So as a reward for her being so brave for her 4 shots that she got that morning we took her to the fair. She had been asking to go for weeks since they have been advertising the Great Minnesota Get-Together (that is what they like to call it here) FOREVER!
Here she is riding the bumper boats at the Kiddie Midway. She had an absolute blast riding all
the rides.
Taking a ride on the Dora swings.There was a Pirate obstacle course that they could do and this big slide is the exit point. This was one of her favorites last year as well.Taking a picture with Jimmy. He was such a little trooper. We got the jogging stroller down from the top of the garage since he is now big enough to ride in it!Family portrait time....minus Jimmy...he fell asleep!Emma riding her John Deere tractor at the Little Farm Hands exhibit.Jimmy and his newest girlfriend!! The Minnesota Viking cheerleaders were there.Emma and the Viking cheerleaders.Emma, Jimmy and Viktor the Viking with the cheerleaders.Hiding out in the corn!Emma and her corn hat.We stopped by the KARE11 (local news station) barn and saw Belinda Jensen doing the news. Too bad Sven Sundgaard was not there (the weather guy)!!!More rides...NASCAR race cars!Bumble Bee ride.Mommy & Jimmy (you can sort of see what my new haircut looks like).Emma posing on the brick wall with her John Deere antlers on.Jimmy towards the end of the night...surprisingly he was still pretty happy. There we lots of things for him to look at though.Emma & JimmyMy sweet little man...right before the meltdown.Here are SOME of the things that are available "on a stick" Almost anything you could possibly imagine you can get on a stick!

It was a great night and we are excited for next year when Jimmy will be able to ride some of the rides with Emma. Should be LOTS of fun as always!!
