It was another successful fun venture to the MN State Fair this year. The weather was a bit on the cool side which made for great running temps. Mike, Deborah, Jason, and Angie ran the 5K Milk Run which started at 7:45 a.m. before all the crowds of people arrived. The run felt great considering our group was recently recovering from either injury or illness. Our fabulous fans of Lamiae, Matt, Laura, Karl, Colin and Justin were quite the cheerleaders considering the early morning rise to get to the fairgrounds. We are especially indebted to Lamiae for tending to Justin and getting him to sleep after missing Mommy and Daddy while we were running.
As always, part of the fun of the fair is sampling all of delicious foods which this year included bbq pig's cheek, chocolate covered bacon, blackened Cajun steak (on a stick of course :))and the standard mini doughnuts, malts, and corn dogs.
The kids love the rides and the lines were minimal in the morning.
This was Justin's first fair experience and he loved the animals and being outside taking in all the craziness. By 1:00p.m. the crowds were in full force and two tired little boys let us know it was time to head home.
It was a great Minnesota get together.
