Fun on a Stick

This last week we just had to visit the Minnesota State fair. It was all it was rumored to be and more. We were amazed at all of the people, tractors and many, many different foods (all deep fried and put on a stick). A small sample of the smorgasbord that could be had-- mac-n-cheese on stick, pickle on a stick, foot long corn dogs, elephant ears(huge scone type things), spaghetti on a stick, bucket of cookies, bucket of fried cheese curds, roasted corn, fried turkey legs on a stick......the list could go on and on. Court and I just kept singing the smorgasbord song from Charlotte's Web over and over because that was exactly what it felt like. Of course we had to sample a few. We tried some corn dogs and the 'worlds best french fries' (good but not the best). We also had roasted corn, my favorite and a fried milky way on a stick which was Court's favorite. The kids loved all of the food, animals and tractors too. We were having a good time but then Court found the 'all you could drink milk for a dollar stand' and it may have turned into his best day ever. He just couldn't get enough of that chocolate milk and it made us wish we had bought the $14 bucket of fresh cookies. I guess there has to be something for next year. It was pretty crowded but a successful trip up to the cities. (The cool way to say Minneapolis and St. Paul)
