Mac and cheese on a stick? Are you serious?
We weren't too sure about it at first, but it actually tasted good.
Not as good as the cookies though, Daddy's second favorite thing at the fair.
Daddy's first favorite thing . . . the milk booth. All the milk you can drink for a dollar.
Ever seen a chocolate and milk mustache?
Next year, corn dogs. With a stand like that, they have to be good.
Excuse me? What's that on a stick?
Close encounter of the pig kind
There we were, minding our own business in the swine barn at the State Fair. We sauntered around the and . . . OINK!!! We came face to face with two real live pigs out of their cages!
We have so much fun before that, looking at all the pigs, laughing every time one of the oinked. Little did we know what was in store for us.
After we made it out of there, we took a moment to regain our composure on some hay bales.
High above the fair
Just like last year, we had to take a ride on the gondolas.
The view was mouthwatering . . .
. . . and totally AMAZING!
Sliding through the State Fair
We're gonna go down that??!!
OK. Awesome (even though Mommy wasn't a big fan). Can we go again?
We had a pretty amazing day and the great State Fair.
We discovered that we can fit inside a tractor tire . . .
. . . Santa Claus does come out in the summer (he gives out stickers) . . .
. . . and a day of eating, evading pigs, flying, sliding, walking, and discovering is exhausting.
Whew . . . time for a nap.
Relive our state fair adventure from last year here and here and here.
Summer sprinkle
Daddy watered the lawn the other day. He didn't plan on it, but he watered us too.
This particular sprinkler goes around in circles, it was kinda hard to keep up.
We had a great time together and it felt so good to run through the cool water on a hot afternoon.
A sunshine with legs and a pickle
These are among our first drawings that actually look like the thing we were trying to draw.
A sunshine with legs . . .
. . . and a pickle . . .
. . . and a boy too. We, and Mommy and Daddy, were very proud.
Chop-chop
We're getting really good at using our chopsticks. Waffles and watermelon . . . "piece of cake."
We do have to concentrate on our food quite a bit more than we're used to. Mommy and Daddy seem to like that aspect more than anything else.
Celebrate summer
We had a backyard waterslide party over the weekend.
It was lots of fun . . .
. . . everyone had a great time.
The dinner table was a little full . . .
. . . perhaps too full.
Serious silliness
Words can't really describe the shenanigans that went on.
It seems silliness was the theme. Art did his part . . .
. . . and Charley giggled . . .
. . . as Mr. Ben did his thing, whatever his thing is.
We had an awesome time. Maybe everyone can come back tomorrow?
Seriously, Aunt Jen-Jen, more tape
It took us FOREVER to open the gifts from Korea that Aunt Jen-Jen sent us.
Then, when we finally got them open, we couldn't figure out what they were. All the writing on the packages looked really funny. We think we figured these out, chopsticks (not chap stick).
There were lots of wonderful things in the box she sent, we had great time digging everything out.
Thanks for the interesting books, they're all we're reading right now. And thanks for the super cool t-shirts, chopsticks and pig magnets. We had a good laugh, for obvious reasons, when we saw those.
Minnesota initiation
We were invited to the lake cabin of some of our friends. It was our first official visit to a Minnesota cabin. It's not that we were nervous, it was kinda windy and cold.
So we blew bubble for awhile instead. Luke and Leah, our friends who invited us, are really good at it. Look at all those bubbles Leah made using the wind.
A trip to the cabin wouldn't be complete without a boat ride.
It was pretty awesome . . .
. . . and we even got to drive. It's a good thing we were the only boat on the lake.
Jumping on water
Eventually we ran into the water. We had a destination . . .
. . . an inflatable trampoline in the middle of the lake. It was kinda far out there . . .
. . . and kinda far out.
