♫ Our State Fair is a Great State Fair ♪

Yesterday we went to the MN State Fair with Dave's brother, Dan, and our friends Paul and Katie. It was SUCH a great day! My goal was just to go and eat the fair food. ☺ So, I sampled:

• a chili cheese dog and chili cheese fries
• deep fried Oreos
• peach-flavored pig cheeks (I wonder if they were really pig cheeks...)
• corn on the cob
• strawberries with cream
• ribs
• chocolate chip cookies

We also went to the midway, and we rode the Ferris Wheel and the Bumper Boats. We played carnival games, and I won (shocking!) a stuffed frog playing Frog Toss, and I played a kids' fishing game, and I won a ball. (I brought the prizes home to the girls, and they were pretty happy about them. ☺)

I also was run over by a man on a Hover Round. I was taking a picture of Dave and Dan, and then I stepped forward and immediately had my ankle run over. It was both my and the fellow's fault, but boy did it hurt (and it was embarrassing, of course). But things like that can't be avoided when you are at an event with almost 200,000 other people.

If I can get the pictures from Dan I will post some of them.
