The Great Minnesota Get Together

Today we headed out to St Paul to hang out with every other Minnesotan at the State Fair. This is by far the best state celebration anywhere.
And might I say, without my Ausie friends throwing daggers, even better then the Sydney Royal Easter Show. Sorry, its true.
Where else can you milk a pretend cow?

Where else can you eat an abundance of deep-fried cheese curds?
These are the kind of savory treats you fast for days to enjoy.
Where else can you not only pet baby farm animals born just days earlier, but can actually watch them being born live?
Where else can you enjoy walking with the crowds to the next food stall?
Where else can you try Australian Battered Potatoes with sour cream and sweet chili sauce?
Oh wait, i ate them all the time in Australia, and man are they goooooooooood!

Where else can Chesney go on a ride with her cousin?
Or enjoy a ride with her little bro?
Or hang out with butterflies landing all over you?
And they landed everywhere

It really is a great celebration for us to enjoy at the end of the summer. We are glad to be able to enjoy it after being away from it for 6 years.
