Steele County Free Fair

We finally made it back for the Fair! It was a crazy fast trip because of Jen's work schedule but we wanted to get down for her 20th class reunion and we were able to sneak in a couple of visits to the fair. It was awesome!

We tried to do a family shot but the blond head opening was for a 7 foot tall person. It was ridiculous.

This is what Fin thought of the animal barns

Daddy love while...

Fin rode a pony and FREAKED out!

And Maya rode a camel.

Claire got snuggles from Cindy O.

The girls ate corn dogs.

Claire got stuffed in a fireman's boot.

The girls hung out in a firetruck

On Sunday, before we headed back up to Moorhead, we took in some rides.

We started small

Fin got a bit braver and decided to do the big slide with Maya. Things got a bit dicey coming down...

And even at the end Fin was a bit unsure...

And then a smile.

They decided to go for it again and Fin took her own blanket. She made it to the top

and then took a ride down with a very nice fair worker!

Next Maya tried out this ride.

Fin tried it on the 2nd go-round. We warned her that we thought it was a "big kid" ride.

And after. (poor sweet thing. She just wants to do what Maya does)

Grandma Barb and Grandpa Jack met us for a bit as well which gave Grandma Sandy time to run off and watch a bit of the horse show!

Go Fish!

Tucker was along and he and Maya love the big rides! They went on the ship ride 3 or 4 times in a row!

They decided to try the Sling Shot (or something like that). It takes you very high in the air and then lets you free fall.

Waiting in line.

And a tired, hot group shot before heading off to Moorhead again!

It was a whirlwind trip but an amazing trip as well!
