Jenna, Grandpa & Turtle:
Playing some pinball:
A place for me to keep track of what we've been up to, a virtual scrap book of sorts....
Playing some pinball:
Then we visited the DNR building where the boys tested out their archery skills, and then everyone checked out the fish pond.
After that it was on to the Miracle of Birth center to check out all the baby animals. The kids got to pet lambs, ducklings, and a piglet.
After looking at all the babies, we checked out the swine barn to see the biggest pig in the state of MN (his name was Reggie, and he was HUGE), and the cattle barn to see how milking works, and to learn out how it goes from the cow to our fridge. Then it was time for a a snack break, so the kids requested Icee's. Jenna loved hers, but Andrew said he'd rather have a Yogurt parfait.
On the way to the Little Farm Hands area, the kids took a break to cool off in a sprinkler, and then got a little side tracked by the kid sized 4 wheelers & dirt bikes they found.
After checking out the Kemps area, getting Kemp's tattoo's, throwing baseballs to Joe Mauer (a cut out), and getting their pictures taken with him, it was time to check out all those John Deere tractors.
Everyone had fun, and we are looking forward to visiting the fair again next year!
