MN State Fair 2008

The Great Minnesota Get-Together is one of our favorite things of living in Minnesota! We have so much fun going every year! Ben and I have gone almost every year we have lived here. If you know Ben, you'll know that it must be special if he is willing to take a day of vacation to go. We choose to do that though because the weekends at the fair are CrAzY!!! The streets are jammed packed and it is a feat to move from one venue to another.... not us. So, we usually go on Tuesday and love how the crowd is a little more subdued. Ben's and my favorite stops are the arts & crafts building, the agriculture building, the diary barn, the baa barn, the moo barn, the oink barn, and the crazy-looking chickens, This year's visit we were "forced" to cut back on our annual favorites to give the kids some fun too! So, we added the Little Farmer Hands farm and Kidway to the mix. It was all fun!! Ben even got to do his favorite thing this year - the sky glider!!

Btw, if you want to read a great commentary about the fair and see some truly awesome pictures, go to Tracy's blog.
