The Great Minnesota Get Together- 2011

We had a great time at the State Fair yesterday!  The weather was absolutely perfect and the food was awesome (of course!)  It wasn't even too terribly crowded- or maybe we just know what we are getting ourselves into when we go there!
Here is the state's largest boar- His name was Husky Lee.  He is a big guy.  We also saw many adorable new babies at CHS's Miracle of Birth Center. 
Something new we tried this year- Deep fried apple pie with cinnamon ice cream.  Yummy!
We also went on the Skyway across the fair.  It was a nice view of the fair, plus we got to sit for 15 minutes! : )
Of course, a trip to the State Fair would not be complete without a bucket of Sweet Martha's cookies and milk from the dairy stand.  We also enjoyed some yummy turkey and sweet corn. 

Summer must really be drawing to a close now that the State Fair is here.  I am back to work starting tomorrow.  I'm looking forward to seeing all of my co-workers again.  The kids have open house on Thursday so it will be fun to meet my new students too (although there will be many I already know)!
