State Fair and Renaissance Festival

Fairy Godmother Jen came to visit this weekend which was a lot of fun. We watched a lot of football on Saturday (including the awesome Irish win). Sunday we went to the Minnesota State Fair. The Fair is always the same and this year there were so many people there. We did try some new foods this year. Here is a complete list of the foods we had this year.

Strawberry milkshake from the dairy barn, Cheese Curds, Bananas (reagan had those), apple cider popsicles, pancake on a stick, cherrios (Reagan again), Peach glazed roasted pig cheeks, Pot roast sundae, Sweet Martha's Cookie's and milk and I am sure a few more things that I am not remembering.

The sad part was that we were not even full when we left so we came home and made guacamole and went to Chipotle. How crazy is that?

Monday we went to the Renaissance Festival. That is always one of my favorite things to do, but I think I was the only one that enjoyed it. We did continue the tradition of different things to eat as I had Beef Stew in a Bread Bowl and Deep Fried Smores (which were pretty good).

Summer is pretty much over now and school starts here tomorrow. Reagan is not old enough to go to school yet, but three of her daycare friends start kindergarten tomorrow. Reagan does start dance lessons next week.

Here are some photos of our weekend endeavors.
