Minnesota State Fair 2012

Ellen recently made her second trip to the Minnesota State Fair. (June stayed home with Omma so we could have a special day with just EVB.) We LOVE the Fair! It was especially fun this year since Ellen was able to really enjoy everything she did and ate. I'm already looking forward to taking her next summer! (And, Ellen did an awesome job using the public restrooms at the fair, which I was pleasantly surprised about!)

A quick list of the food Ellen tried:

• Mini donuts (yum)
• Ice cream cone (an obvious hit)
• Pickle on a stick (her favorite!)
• Milk (can't go wrong; this is Ellen's beverage of choice)
• Cheese curds (not a huge fan)

A quick list of what Ellen did at the Fair:

• Took her first ride on Ye Old Mill (loved it!)
• Sat on John Deere tractors (like last year, Ellen really enjoyed this)
• Took her second trip down the Giant Slide (first trip with Mom; Dad watched this year)
• Rode the merry-go-round
• Got a (temporary) tattoo in the sheep barn
• Looked at sheep, rabbits, goats, ducks and fish

Ellen also thoroughly enjoyed riding the bus to and from the park & ride!

Ellen crashed in her stroller before we left Fairgrounds :)
