the great Minnesota get together

Today our little family embarked on a journey across the St. Croix River to the great Minnesota get together, the Minnesota State Fair.  We did the park and ride from the corner of Lexington and University.  Our first stop was the go carts where Kathryn and I rode in one car and Anders rode in another. K&K were victorious. Next stop was the Miracle of Life barn where Anders stayed to watch a heifer be born. 

While Anders stayed to watch the birth, Brad, Kathryn, Osten and I were on a mission to see cousins' and their exhibits.  On our way through the collesium, we saw Erika and Kayo who were there to watch Lucas Pierson at the Dairy show.  We then got to the dairy barn and surpised Liana by sneaking up to her and kissing her on the cheek.  We also got to see Ross in the barn.  We then went to see Ross' purple ribbon gilt in the hog barn and Liana's Grand Champion Utility Breeding pair pigeons in the poultry barn.  We then went to pick up Anders and saw Kyle Jr. for a short time. 

We ate some yummy treats...scotch egg, cheese curds, all the milk you can drink, a carmel roll, corn dogs and a deep fried apple pie and then were on our way home right before the rain started falling. 

It was a lovely day at the fair!
