The Ramos Family

We decided to head to the State Fair on Labor Day Sunday. We dropped Lorenzo off at Missy's house and picked up Gen-Gen. As much as we missed having Lorenzo with us, it was nice not to have to worry about a stroller, feeding him and making sure he napped - so thanks Auntie Missy for watching him for us!

We got to the Fair around 10:30am and started off in the Food Building so Paul could get some breakfast food. The girls chowed down a cinnamon roll, then followed up with some cheese curds...... only at the State Fair huh?

We had never gone on the Sky Ride before and the girls asked if we could go on it. Bella & I rode in one car while Maria, Gen & Paul rode in another. Bella was very excited the entire ride. It was cool to get a birds eye view of everything!

The girls also wanted to go down the big yellow slide so we headed there next (okay, so we might have stopped for food along the way :) ) Bella & Gen were too short to go down by themselves so Paul made the long trek up the stairs TWICE so they could ride down with him. They had so much fun!

After going down the slide, we went over to the Miracle of Life barn where the girls got to pet a baby lamb and calf. There were also piglets being born but it was so crowded, we decided to watch on the television.

We also took the girls on some kiddy rides - Paul & I rode the roller coaster with Bella & Gen, it was fun! Although I think we'll be skipping that part of the Fair next year as the rides were very expensive and not really worth the money. The girls did really well, we were at the Fair for about 4 1/2 hours and they pretty much walked the entire time (we took a few breaks). Bella hit the wall towards the end and had to be carried to the bus but all-in-all, it was a good day. The only new thing we tried was Big Fat Bacon - even Maria took a bite! It was good but not sure it was worth $3. Of course, I had to have my Pronto Pup and as always Sweet Martha's Cookies!

Hope I ate enough fried foods to make it until next year!
