The GREAT Minnesota Get-Together!

MINNESOTA STATE FAIR!

A few weeks ago Andrew surprised me with a trip to the State Fair! I really wanted to go. Being as it was the last weekend we wern't sure if it was going to be busy... Turns out it was the busiest day of the year! We left without eating breakfast at 9:00 in the morning and drove down to the free parking that they have scattered all of the place where we rode a bus to the mass of people. I spoke with Heidi before we got there and she told me that I had to tell her everything we ate. Well I had a better idea! I would show you! ENJOY! ( Hope your not hungry after this! I know I wasn't!)We started out in a huge crowd.. this is just one of many pictures I have of the people.
Alright this was breakfast. I know.. let me explain. Andrew had asked me when we walked in if I had ever had a foot long hot dog. I hadn't... needless to say he was shocked. So thus the reason we had that very first.
This was just half the footlong and its a bit bigger then a regular hot dog. (After this we didn't eat until 4 because we were so full)
Kettle Corn.. for those of you that are like me and just LOVE this.. you would have enjoyed watching it being popped. It gets to a point were the man making it has to hide behind his giant rimmed hat to avoid the burning hot flying pop corn. They made us stand at least 5 feet back... oh was it good.. even if we just had a small sample.

Our next meal... pop corn chicken..strawberry lemonade and greenapple pop. YUM!
Unfortunatly I didn't get a picture of the actual food.. but this was such a good Gyro VERY hot though!
Also not pictured is the endless drinks and malts that we had... it was a VERY hot day! We spent most of it walking around and watching people. We saw some of the most interesting people there! At one booth you could have your hair done up in some wacked up color and style... here are some of the cool kids..
Another awesome item was the inside golfer ... I wanted it! You just pull the trigger with your finger and the mini golfer pulls back, when your release he swings and the mini balls go flying! Its AWESOME!
Dad This one is for you! I saw this and HAD to take a picture because you have this too! I don't think the guy was too happy that I took this picture..
And finally us at the end of the day.. Still happy after wandering around forever! I know you are probably thinking why I didnt have thousands of pictures of something on a stick... well we didn't eat anything on a stick.. Next year I promise... EVERTHING they have on a stick.. you will see..
LOVES!
