We were up at Rutabaga Festival for a bit at the end of August. The girls enjoyed dancing to the music and going on a few rides. We went on a tilt-a-whirl and I thought I was going to be sick most of the time. Elsie and Grandma (mom) were sitting by each other and trying to make it spin and just laughing at my wheeziness. However, the big slide was fun because us 5 gals rode down together and held hands. Cora being silly and trying to ride Elsie's bike, she put the helmet on backwards :)
Our annual State Fair trip! I was pretty nervous about this. The year prior did not go well...Cora couldn't fall asleep and got crazy and we only stayed for a few hours....and this year we were adding another child to the mix. However, things were great this time around!
When we were walking longer distances, Alaina stayed in the wrap and the big girls sat in the stroller.
The streets were so nice and open in the morning.
I was on a mission to take pictures of all of the foods we tried this year. The one thing I didn't get a photo of was our shakes. Matthew had the strawberry rhubarb and I can't remember what I had, they were both tasty!
Our first foods in the morning were the jam and butter scone and the doughsant, both super yummy and would get them again....from french bakery market whatever.
The girls doing the Little Farm Hands.
Cheese curds....wouldn't reccomend these particular ones. We got them from a random vendor instead of in the food building. They were just ok, we didn't even finish them all.
Alaina fell asleep late morning...SUCCESS! We knew we would be able to stay later if she took a decent nap and she slept for over an hour while we walked around and ate shakes.
Mini corn dogs....surprisingly delcious....from the gass station. We got these for the girls but then Matthew and I ended up really liking them.
We were able to meet up with Gary and Becky and hang with them for a while and see the parade together. We also saw Greg a few times.
Chili cheese fries...we've gotten these before when we are in the mood for something a little more filling.
Deep fried cookie dough....sooooo good! I think this will become a yearly treat. It was highly reccomended so I made sure we got some before we left and I was glad I did!
We ended up leaving around 3-3:30, super successful day as far as we are concerned!
