It's your fair, we had to be there

This blog is really about adventure so Katie and I set out last Sunday to have a little local adventure at the Minnesota State Fair.  Katie ask her friends Oliva and Megan to come along for the ride.

We left around 9.  Kari hooked us up with some e-tickets so we cruised right in.  We stopped to consider our choice and contemplate how much Pokemon Go we should play.


Classic tractors and Pokemon GO

After walking for a little bit, we determined that breakfast was in order.  Nothing say Minnesota State Fair breakfast like MINI DOUNTS.  Yeah. Yeah
Their delicious goodnes could not be denied.



After donuts we head to the education building. Before playing games and learning about the education system and colleges of Minnesota we stopped to support PBS.


Super Why and the girls of St Huberts


Anyone care for a paddle?

In the eduction building after we had collected as many wristband, pencils, stickers and sucker we stopped by the Concordia College booth.


Katie isn't as excited as I am.
Go Cobbers!!!!!
After the education building there was only on place to go,The Haunted House. The Haunted House seemed like a good idea till we got in there.  I seriously have some deafness in my left ear from the screaming. The girls were huddled in a little mass and followed me through the mansion.  After it was over they didn't seem any worse for wear.


 
Apparently, terror makes you hungry.  After the haunted mansion it was time to eat.  First we took down a bucket of fresh French fries.   Fries make you thirsty so then it was a stop at the all you can drink milk stand.



We watched some Clydesdale horses and then we enjoyed some delicious Gopher Milkshakes.  We the walked many miles to find some delicious corn on the cob.



After corn, we heard Grandma Eva and Nana's voices in our heads.  They were guiding us but where.  Where would they want us to go at the Minnesota State Fair.
It is the Republican Party building.  Mission accomplished.

The girls also stumbled into a Karaoke lounge.  They rocked a little "Party in the USA." by Miley Cyrus.  Since it was a Medica booth, many elderly people found it enjoyable.

After that is was time for the fan zone where we seen some quality time playing games and hanging with our Minneaota teams.
State of Hockey

We all love KAT!!!!!!!

Maya Moore and the girls.  She needs a different jersey.

Dabbing with Loony. FC United

The girls won a Saints hat 

The crowds were big but we had a great time.

We joined the sing along and rocked some "Fill me up, Buttercup."

Natural performers.

After watching some Skateboarding and BMX, the girls got some Henna tattoos.  

We made one more lap for Hawaiian shaved ice and a few buckets of these little beauties.

Sweet Martha's Cookies.  Amen

Cheers from the Minnesota State Fair, we are out.  Out of time, I am out of money the girls our out of room to eat anymore food.
