A visit to the State Fair

A few weeks back, we made our annual trip to the Minnesota State Fair. Generally, it is a time for us to gorge ourselves on food that is completely bad for our health. This year was no exception. At the same time, our visit this year was easily the most fun we've had there in a long time. Jordan was old enough this year to really get into it. He loves animals of all kinds, so the visit to the Miracle of Birth Center and the Horse Barn were highlights for him.

The biggest highlight for us was watching him work his way through the Little Farm Hands exhibit, where he planted seeds, picked vegetables, and brought some of his goods to the Farmer's Market. He really got into it!! By the end of the day, he crashed from a Sweet Martha's-induced sugar high, but nonetheless it was a memorable trip for all of us!
