State Fair 2008

Sam, the daredevil!

Ah, the people watching at the Fair. The food, the animals and all the exercise you get walking around! We never get to do everything, but since the kids were done it was time to go. Sam enjoyed her 1st funhouse adventure, along with 2 other rides and some time at the Rainbow Play System booth.

Hmmm...


Things we ate this year:
Jason - Scottish egg (heart attack on a stick), Pronto Pup, Big Fat Bacon on a stick
Stacey - Cake on a stick, Pickle dog, cheese curds
Samantha tried almost everything and had her own (blue!) slushie.

It was a fun day for all!

Note to self for next year... Use the Park and Ride or off-street parking on Como Ave is not a far walk!

I saw the bacon on the news one morning and was almost tempted to take my pregnant buns over there to try it... but then I remembered how I can't keep monkey in his stroller and my legs are like tree-trunks :)

Glad to see you got your blog up and running :) It's good to catch up since I haven't had a chance to see you for a while too...school starts next week!!!

I heard a roomer that cardiologists are behind such booths as the Scottish Egg (aka: heart attack-on-a-stick) and the deep fried bacon (cuz apparently there ain't enough fat in bacon).

My personal fav: corn on the cob, dunked in butter and generously sprinkled with S&P. Then again, the monster turkey leg was pretty darn tasty! Sort of felt like Wilma gnawing on a pterodactyl leg.
