A fair is a veritable smorgasbord

Jen, Dan, Bradford, Ryan E.

Being weekend warriors especial, we came back from the Twin Cities Sunday night. It was a combo package of Aunt Katie and Uncle Larry, Ryan Mc's mom and siblings, $12 jeans day at Old Navy, Daniel Propst's wedding or the Vikings and the Steelers in pre-season, and the Minnesota State Fair.

The state fair is most blogalicious:

We were only there for three or four hours, but managed to share cream cheese on a stick breaded like a corndog, malts from the dairy barn, honey taffy, two kinds of crêpes, pineapple whip, fried cheese curds, chocolate chip cookies, and all you can drink milk. We couldn't handle the chocolate covered bacon or deep fried candy bars. Next time.

and helped make this lovely Liberty Bell installation
