i love living in wisconsin. it may seem strange to some to say that (like most of my colorado friends) but i do. there are so many things i love about it and miss when i'm not here. the state fair of course wraps most of those things all into one event!
1. what would a trip to the state fair be without a cream puff?! mmmmmmm...deliciousness all in one gigantic puff.
2. lots of friends. we had quite the group head to the fair together, with a lot of first-timers! it was so fun to show them the wonders of wisconsin... :)
3. the house of moo. of course we had to go through the barns and drink some milk. there was even a real cow's stomach for you to look at! how great is that? hehe. i do miss the days of hanging out at the county fair barns with my cousins...playing around, dropping fake spiders on people, watching them show the cows. gotta love a grand champion cow!
4. this isn't something i particularly love about about wisconsin or the state fair, but it was such a great picture i had to include it. nate willingly held my purse while i rode the tilt-a-whirl. lol. doesn't he look like he's loving it too? it is a special amy bayer design, so he is modeling it well. :)
5. the tilt-a-whirl. this is one of my favorite parts of the fair. even if it seems silly and ridiculous, i will always go on the tilt-a-whirl. it is one of my favorite memories growing up. grandpa always took each one of us grandkids on it with him and he would just laugh and laugh and laugh. he always got the best spins and we were always afraid his false teeth would fall out. :) i love the tilt-a-whirl. and i miss my grandpa.
this little girl rode with holly & i because the kids she was supposed to ride with weren't big enough for them to have her with them. so she rode with us. she was pretty nervous and shy, but she warmed up to us once we got the little car spinning! it was pretty cute to watch her smile come out.
all in all it was a fun trip to the fair. oh, i didn't have a picture of this, but i did get a delicious brat in a pretzel bun! mmmm....it was really good. fun with the different type of bun. anyways, we had a great day at the fair!
Our State Fair is a great state fair
Don't Miss it don't even be late
(our state fair is great)
It's dollars to doughnuts at our state fair
It's the best state fair in the state!!!
Don't Miss it don't even be late
(our state fair is great)
It's dollars to doughnuts at our state fair
It's the best state fair in the state!!!
name those lyrics... ;)

It's from the musical "State Fair" which was written by an Iowan about the Iowa State Fair. I guess I'll let you use it for the WI State Fair too, since it's my 2nd fave state:)
