Luke was gone this week, so I took the kids down to the Steel County Free Fair on Wednesday night after work. I love the fair and since we were just down there last weekend and the traffic and construction was terrible we decided we'd be staying home this weekend, so I'm glad I could get to the fair, if even for a couple of hours!
The kids had a blast! They were especially excited to see all the animals! They loved the petting zoos (there was a camel, giraffe, monkey and may other animals as well). Bishop wasn't quite as brave to feed them this year--he wanted me to do it! We walked through the pig barn, the cow barn, the horse barn and the goat barn. Bishop was also THRILLED to play on the big John Deer Tractors. There was a very nice man who even unlocked the tractors so he could sit in the really big ones--he was in heaven! I wasn't able to get as many pictures as I would have liked since it was just my mom and the kids and I....and I wanted to make sure none of us was kicked by a cow! :)

After visiting the animals and tractors we had something to eat. We had deep fried pickles, a corn dog, we shared some cindy nachos and mini donuts with my mom and the kids got cotton candy!! It sounds like a lot of food, but I could have eaten more! :)

Bishop got to choose one "toy" and he got a blow up Spiderman! He was super excited and he met a new friend (who also lives in Mpls) who had a spiderman like his and they played together! It was quite exciting for awhile!
I had wanted to take Bishop on some rides, but he said he'd rather stop by to see my dad at work (he was working at the funeral home) and he REALLY wanted to go to nana and papa's house to play with their toys. So we took off, stopped to see papa, played at nana and papa's house and papa was home before we left--so everyone was very excited! :) It was a great night and I'm so glad we were able to spend some time at the fair this year!
