The Great Minnesota Get Together 2010

We visited the State Fair on Labor Day. It was even more fun this year since Eli has been vigoroualy studying his animals and the sounds they may. It was great to hear him call out there name when he recognized them. I am disappointed in myself as I left my Canon camera at home and just brought my point and shoot camera that died very quickly on us! Nevertheless, we had a wonderful time!

First, we paid a visit to the pigs. Or as Eli calls them, Piiig. Below are the stats for Reggie, Minnesota's largest boar.
Here's Reggie...
Eli says, "Piiiig"!
..and, for the 2nd year in a row, Eli Sundsmo, Minnesota's biggest cutie!
Hands down! The biggest cutie!
 Mama and Eli checkin' out a smaller piggy.
 Sheep!
 Nick's least favorite part of the fair... people! 
 ...and my least favorite part... poo!
 Watch out!
 Now for the cows! Look at ol' Bessie... what a beauty!


 Vacuuming cows? This was something new and interesting to see! Last year it was people spooning cows and this year it is people vacuuming cows!


 The vacuuming cows was interesting and all, but we all know what I wanted to see.... But there was no cow spooning in sight.
 Zippo!
Zer...oh, wait! What do I see?
 
She wasn't spooning the cows, but rather, laying on top of two!? I have to admit, it looks comfy!



 




   We LOVE visiting the animals, but we also love a bite of Sweet Martha's  cookies!
 
We had to get Eli the John Deere antlers... they were literally shredded apart after this photo was taken!
