The arrow points to the 100,000 people. The two in the foreground are Emily and Sam trying to avoid getting their picture taken.
We all had a good time. Jason, Emily, Sam and I and 100,000 of our (now) closest friends. It was a feast for all the senses. You can see just about everything, hear everything (at once), smell everything (good and bad) and it was hot and sweaty and people bumping you every 5 seconds (that’s the feeling sense, don’tchya know). I think I even got felt up once or twice. Wait, that was Jason doing that–doesn’t count. We ate all the requisite items, except cotton candy. I was so damn thirsty (and water cost $2.00/bottle) the whole time we were there, I couldn’t even think of putting something so sweet into my mouth. I would need more water.
We are exhausted and stuffed and the old folks are sore from so much walking. We’ll recover over the long weekend. It’s all good.
WHAT!
you prooomised you would eat the cotton candy!
*hurt*
And also hungry for either cotton candy or chocolate. Its gonna have to be chocolate becuase I don’t have cotton candy!
Sounds like fun! My husband wants to live in Minnesota soooo bad just so he can be near his beloved Vikings.
Did you all eat funnel cake? That would definitely be one of my requisite items!
I would have loved to go with you but I probably wouldn’t have gotten out of the air conditioned car! #:-s
And no corn dogs. Very disappointing.
It sounds like you guys had the perfect “Fair” experience!
Maybe I haven’t been reading long enough, but you and Jason seem like you guys are on a “second honeymoon” or something. It’s so awesome to read about the obvious love and affection the two of you share!
I would have had to had some of that cotton candy!!! I love it! Have a great weekend!!!!
I love our state fair – haven’t been for almost 10 years. Have to convince Mr. Incredible to take time off work and go next year. It’s always hot – but so much fun!
No funnel cake? No indian tacos? Oh……now I want some.
No really. Now would be good please.
Blue–Sorry! Have you ever tried the Dairy Queen Cotton Candy Blizzard? Yummmmy! Do you have Dairy Queens up there?
Dawn–You MUST move to Minnesota! Then you could be on my Minnesota blogroll!
MM–It wasn’t too bad. It could have been a lot warmer.
Fab–Sorry. Not really a big corn dog fan.
Amber–Thanks. We have recently gone through some tough times and things are better than before, so you are very observant.
Catch–I love cotton candy, too, and even considered getting some for the road, but I was just stuffed and couldn’t do it.
Fantastagirl–You should come to ours next year!
Tug–Not a huge funnel cake fan, but my son is. What is an Indian Taco?
Indian Tacos are just tacos on fry bread (like funnel cake) instead of in a shell. TOTALLY awesome, TOTALLY filling.
ohso nummers.
Is that the line to the Minneapolis Airport restroom?
(You knew someone had to say that).
Usually I don’t visit such feasts because I don’t like such crowds! I feel uncomfortable there.
