The Quist Kids "On a Stick"

We took the kids to the Minnesota State Fair today (Aug 29) for the very first time. We got there around 9am or so, and there were already about a million people there. We saw all sorts of animals, big and small, including some little piglets just minutes old.

Daniel petting a baby pig for the first time. You can't see the piglet he's petting, but there are a few in thew glass case behind him.

In the Horse barn

Daniel eating a genuine "Pronto Pup" at the fair. The original food revelation that began the "everything on a stick" revolution. You wouldn't be able to tell it from the face he's making, but he inhaled this one and asked for another....

Andie also loved her first taste of a state fair pronto pup

The kids were so well behaved all morning, we decided to let Daniel ride on a few rides. We gave him the choice of three different rides and he chose Airplanes, Race cars, and the Dragon roller coaster.

First, the airplane. He's in the rear seat of the light blue colored plane

Next, the NASCAR car. He chose the #3 car on his own. Listen to the squeals he makes as the car turns the tight corners

Lastly, the Dragon roller coaster (or "Train" as Daniel called it). Nate had to go with Daniel on this ride because he was a little too short to ride by himself. The boys are in the very last car.
