We surprised the kids on Saturday with a trip to the State Fair. Neither David nor I had been to the State Fair in . . . yes. . . decades, so it was time for the Melius family to check it out.
There were mixed reviews as we looked at the various machinery on display, but attitudes brightened as we discovered the Rainbow Play Systems display and toured a few campers on display.
After that, we found some ice cream and decided to take a seat at the Freedom Stage, as a band was just getting ready to perform. It turned out it was a classic 80's and 90's rock band, and although some more mature audience members did not appreciate the talent of the Snake Oil Sinners, my kids did. If you remember, they just sang 90's rock songs for their Spring Concert last year. When they announced Twisted Sister's "I Wanna Rock," Teresa couldn't sit still. She was ready to rock! We all shouted out "Livin' on a Prayer" and they were introduced to "School's Out for the Summer," too, which was ironic since they just returned to school. :)
Then we went to check out the animals. We found this adorable pig.
And horses.
And lots and lots of goats!
We finished up with bunnies and chickens.
It was a great day at the fair.
