Minnesota State Fair

Minnesota State Fair is here and yesterday we went there so that I could have my very first experience of a true American state fair.
It was a beautiful day, sunny and not too hot. But, the crowd was a bit overwhelming. Just look at all these people!
We were hungry so first we headed for the food (and there is lots of it at the State Fair!). We had hamburger and fried chicken wrap for lunch. Then we went to a French Crepes café for dessert.
Wow, just look at that! Strawberry and cream crepe!
I really enjoyed it!
This is how happy I look after eating a few bites!
We also took a look at how they make deep fried candy bars. We didn't try it though. Mom and dad thought it sounded too weird.
We headed to the area where they had a cow competition. I had a lot of space to myself in the seating area. I climbed up and down from one row to another. Fun (at least for me...mom and dad were quite worried I would fall and tried to make me stay in one seat....easier said than done, he, he....).
Some cows are getting prizes.
The sheep were also quite fun to take a look at.
Look at the cute little lamb. I said; bäääääää!
The little ducklings were adorable! I really wanted to go in and pet them, but it was not allowed. I did get to pet a little white rabbit and that was really fun!
We went on a carousel too! It was so exiting! Round and around we went....
We were getting tired after spending a few hours at the Fair. On the way to the car we bought corn on the cob from a street stand.
Mmmmm, corn with butter and salt. Love it!!
Mom and I went on a giant slide. It was great! I wanted to go again, but the line was too long so one time had to do. At least I can look back at this little movie that dad took and remember how fun it was.

Oj, oj Elsie vad roligt du haft det! Det hade varit roligt att vara med. Moster hade alldeles säkert provat en friterad godis, men crepes såg ju också gott ut!
Vi har också mumsat en del i helgen, bl a på lite lördagsgodis igår. Annars har Inez varit lite förkyld och Ebba börjar nu bli det. Hoppas att hon ändå kan gå på simskolan som hon vill imorgon!
Rutschkanan såg ganska farlig ut, men var säkert väldigt kul. Tur att du hade din napp!
