The Great Minnesota Get Together

So this post is a little late, but I figured I better do it anyway, so that I have it here when I (eventually) turn this into a book.

We went to the Minnesota State Fair with our friends, Cameron and Cecia, over Labor Day weekend. It is unbelievable how crowded it is...I was SOOO grateful we didn't have our kids with us...it would have been a nightmare trying to push strollers through the crowd!

Cecia and I in front of the mass of people!




We were only able to go for a couple of hours, but we were able to squeeze in some good food (gyros, cheese curds, etc.) and some fun.


One of the best parts was going down this giant slide....Cecia and I went, but the boys thought they were too cool. I must say, I was probably a bigger whimp than half the kids going down. I seriously felt like I was going to catch some air a few times, so I stuck out my foot to slow me down. I was dying of laughter going down because Cecia was screaming the whole way down.


Getting ready to go....


...wheeeee!!!!!


Hanging on for dear life (at least, it felt like it!)


Laughing SOOO hard!


The boys opted for cheaper entertainment, like this free basketball shooting game...



We had a great time, even though those couple of hours REALLY wore us out! It was fun to be able to get to the place "Where Minnesota Gets Together". :)

That looks like so much fun! I wish the fair was still going on when Kipp and I visit. Oh well. You look really good in these pictures, Wend! And you are doing such a good job on keeping up with your blog... I need to keep up! I am working on one of those blasted books that you mentioned (for 2008), and it is definitely time consuming!
