Ah, another State Fair season has come and gone. We are HUGE Fair lovers, and we were able to get out there 3 times this year. Two evening date nights with just Greg and me, and a full day with Simone with us. We had such an awesome time. SO, below are the pics from those 3 trips. Simone did GREAT. We were there for about 7 hours, and she was such a good girl. Above- Greg and I on the Skyride!
Mmmmm....turkey sandwich. A fair staple for us.
A view from the skyride.
Nice, huh?
That night we ended up meeting up with Nicole's cousins, and Nicole's bro and sis-in-law and nephews, and we all got to see Morris Day and The Time. What a great show! Brings you back, that's for sure! Above- Nicole and cousin Laurie.

The Midway at night. Love the lights.
Now we're on to the day we took Simone. She and Daddy fished and won a prize!
Simone and her cow Pillow Pet! She absolutely loved it and wouldn't put it down the rest of the day (and sleeps with it every night now).
My sweet girl and my sweet hubby. :)
Oh my goodness- did Simone ever love the Merry-Go-Round!! She threw a fit when it was time to get off- ha!
Gotta love pronto pups! It was so fun that Simone was older this year and could eat and do more things.
Machinery Hill! She sat on every tractor there, I think...
Little Farmhands! Simone loved it. She got to feed the chickens and milk the cows...so fun!
Riding the tractor at Little Farmhands.
Watching the parade! Simone loved all of the marching bands and their drums, especially.

Simone wearing her new U of M hat! She went nuts right after I took this picture because she spotted Fairborne and Fairchild.
Simone's first snowcone!
She loved the Merry-Go-Round so much that we had to go on another one by the kiddie rides. Again, threw a fit when it was time to get off. :)
Then, Greg and I went by ourselves again on Labor Day night. Above is Train- we watched them get interviewed before their show.
Ferris Wheel!
It's tradition- we HAVE to go on the Ferris Wheel every year.
Gotta love the Ferris Wheel.
It was packed at the Grandstand for the Maroon 5/Train show!
Greg and Nicole while Maroon 5 was playing. We had awesome seats- so close!
So, I took TONS of pics and videos of the show- but here's just one. It wasn't even one of the better photos, but oh well. (Maroon 5)
And Train. I am mainly a Maroon 5 fan, so was mostly looking forward to seeing them, but Train put on an amazing show as well!! What a great time.
Until next year, MN State Fair- we'll miss you!
