MN State Fair Day #2

On Sunday, we took Sophia for yet another round of the State Fair. I have signed up for several years now to run the Milk Run. She had to get up bright and early so we could be out the door at 6:30. She was peppy and thrilled when she got up to go to the fair.

When we got there Hal and Sophia walked around while I ran with some of my neighbor girls. We had a great time! After the race, we were off for our day at the fair. Sophia requested cookies for breakfast AGAIN, so of course there was no denying this little sweet tooth.

After cookies for breakfast we walked around and headed over to the University of Minnesota building. We were trying to get Sophia a backpack, but she got a sweatband instead. She just loved it and wore it for the majority of the day.

The next stop we made was in the Eco Experience building. Sophia had a great time doing all of the kid activities like coloring and putting together puzzles.

We spent a while looking at the Creative Activities building where I showed off my scrapbooking pages which won 2nd place this year!

After being in the stroller for a bit, Sophia needed a break so we took her to the Little Farm Hands with the John Deere. It was so adorable and even better than last year because she got to go on the tractor.

After we finished up at the Little Farm, Sophia wanted to go on a ride. She picked the monkey ride which coming from her doesn't surprise me. Hal went on with her and she had a great time.


By the end of the day we were all getting a bit tired from being up early and the crowds were getting larger by the minute so we decided to head home. Here's an attempt at a family picture from the fair!

All in all, we had a fantastic day. I can't wait to do it again this weekend.
