The Great MN Get Together! The FAIR!

We all went to the Minnesota State Fair last Sunday. I am doing really well so far with this pregnancy, so as long as we took it easy, there was no way we were going to miss this day! The boys were really looking forward to it. We decided to battle the crowds, and off we went to the bus to take is down there!
I started with this picture because Joe, Sam and the guy in the background all have the exact same look on their faces!! HAHAHA! I was laughing hard when I saw this pic! Too funny. Did something stink?!

After we ate some great fair food, we went onto the midway where the kids could play games and ride the rides. First, Sam had his fastball clocked, and it was an amazing 24 mph! Or whatever the measurement is! :) He did an excellent job!

Then, Jack went and he did great too! I cannot remember the speed, but it was right up there!

They both got some blow up bats for doing so well!

Then we tried the roll the ball into the colored glass. No luck here, but they loved doing it!

Then, we tried the ball in the milk bucket. Hey, are the balls bigger than the openings? mmm.mmm.

Jacks turn!

I love this picture (not of me) but of the girl really trying to give Jack the lecture on how to push the buttons to get the thingys down. YOU CAN DO IT JACK! Too cute.

The boys got to throw the balls into the gophers mouths. The guy really helped us out on this one. Here is Jack's turn.

Then, Sams. They both got little puppies for this one.

Then, we got some more food. Jack was really enjoying his corndog.

I mean, really enjoying it!! :)

He looks like he is up to NO good!

Rock on that corn dog Jack, says Sam!! I love this picture of my boys.

If anyone knows Joe, he really does not like the rides or anything having to do with roller coasters or anything like that. Now, me..I love them! But, being pregnant, I cant go on any rides, so daddy went on the tilt a whirl with the boys. I do not think I have ever laughed so hard in all my life. Here is the beginning before the ride even starts. Look at his face! The boys are so excited!

HAHAHAHAHAHA! I got this picture in mid-whirl and look at HIS FACE!! I think I had fallen down at this point I was laughing so hard.

The boys loved it!

See! HAHA! Thanks for taking one for the team, daddy! :-)

Sam was giving me the ROCK ON sign the whole day. *sigh*.

We went and saw the animals before we left, and the boys loved seeing all the baby cows, and lambs, and chickens, and pigs!

Isn't this a great pic? They both got to pet the baby cow.

All in all we had a fabulous day, and the boys are still talking about it! Now, we are onto Fall and everyone heading to school!
