The Great MN Get Together!!

We had a wonderful weekend. Friday night, Trav got home from work a touch early. Addie & I were sitting outside on the patio playing. She got all excited when she saw Trav drive up. So that just set the mood off for a great weekend. We spent almost all weekend together as a family.

Saturday morning, Trav went golfing with our friend Steve. They didn't shoot the best. Who knows what happened. After Trav got home, we all went to the MN Zoo to enjoy the beautiful weather. Addie was such a good girl. She had a lot of fun looking at all of the animals. We stopped to take a break at the farm and split a dish of ice cream and have some water. Addie loves to drink water from her sippy cup. We forgot it. So we improvised by giving her some water on a spoon. It was funny to watch her drink because she started to blow bubbles in the water and after she was satisfied with the amount of blowing she would proceed to drink it. Such a silly little girl.

Sunday was a big day as well. We took Addie to her first state fair! It was such a beautiful day. The weather was cooler in the mid 70's with mostly cloudy. Absolutely perfect weather for the fair. If any of you know how the weather goes around here when it's the fair, it's either blistering hot or awful rain and gloomy. To have a perfect day was a blessing. I took Addie down the big slide. It had 4 bumps and you ride down on a potato sack. Every time we went over the bump, she would giggle. It was pretty fun. We also gave Addie her first taste of fair food. We got a Pronto Pup. It's like a corn dog but the batter is flour based instead of cornmeal. She loved eating the outside part. No hot dogs for her quite yet. The other fun part of the day is that we took her into the horse barn. She was a little wide eyed at first, but soon became happy and excited to see all of the horses. She really liked them....maybe riding lessons will have to be in her future. Overall we had a wonderful day at the fair.

Until next time,
love Trav, Tiff & Addie.
