2008 Minnesota State Fair
Wow, what a difference a year makes. Last year we took Cora to the Minnesota State Fair. She was only 4 months at the time, but we strapped her into a BabyBjorn and pounded away at the pavement. We event made time to give Cora a little taste of a corn-dog.

We’ll this year, Cora was really able to enjoy the fair. She really ran us ragged. Clearly, I need to be upping my daily mileage so I can keep up. She was hesitant at first, to touch the animals. But, once she realized they wouldn’t bite back, Cora had no problem petting them.

Her first real taste of fair food came in the form of a fried cheese curd.

From there it was a corn-dog, then some mini-donuts, cookies from Sweet Martha’s, and lastly a blueberry snow-cone.

It wasn’t all junk food though. Cheryl made sure to give her a nice glass a milk.

What a great time!
I bet Minnesotan families have enough State Fair photos in the attic to do a cool “history of our family” project and just feature images from the Fair. Your family looks to have a good start on that attic collection!
Our Jackson started his third fair this year with minidonuts too. Next year I think we’re buying more than just one bag!
