State Fair 2009

Consuming a foot long hot dog and pizza before 8 AM means only one thing.... we are at the State Fair. We left Stewartville at 5:45 AM and spent the entire day on the grounds. Dan and Aaron took in the evening concert to watch REO Speedwagon, Styx and 38 Special. We even saw Kris & Andy Reineccius at the fair.....which is hard to believe since there were over 207,000 people at the Fair on Saturday. Below are a few photos and videos of our day.

Aaron wins the jackpot on the "Flamin' Finger".

Andrew let his mother ride with him on the "Giant Slide".


Andrew peers out of the gondola wondering where he would like to eat next.

Aaron made sure we made it to the FSN booth!

Another ritual at the State Fair... the water ride.

Andrew played whiffle ball at the Minnesota Twin's tent.

You are never too big for the ferris wheel!

Aaron was so lucky to have "Tony Oliva" pitched to him at the Twins' tent. Out of respect for Mr. Oliva, I told Aaron to bunt but Mr. Oliva told him to swing away. Andrew was too tired to take some pitches from the Hall of Famer:-(
