State Fair!

Sophia's first time at the MN State Fair!

Tasting a french fry. Mmm!

Relaxing with her feet up. Now that's the way to get around the fair!

Evidence of healthy food for dinner :) It's hard to find.

Already a natural at public transportation.

Our second trip to the fair this week, with my family.

Welcome back to the fair.

If you're going to be a fair veteran, you have to try the mini donuts.

First taste. And the verdict is...

...no need to explain. A picture is worth a thousand words.

Bye bye Fair! We'll be back next year.

Zoo Time!

Sophia had her first trip to the zoo this week! We packed up a picnic lunch on Thursday and headed to Como Zoo for a fun family day. Our first stop was a carousel ride, which Sophia loved! There was so much to look at as the world whizzed around in circles. After the ride, we visited flamingos, monkeys, zebras, seals, and fish. Then we ran for the car because storm clouds were threatening. We ate our picnic lunch in the car, and as we ate, rain started pounding the windshield. Whew! We were safe, dry, and well fed. We headed home for nap time.

Look Sophia! We are going to ride on the horsies!

Excitedly waiting to ride the carousel with Dada

Ready to ride!

Ridin' with Mama!

So much to look at!

Riding with Dada. Hold on with those toes, Babe.

Pretty flamingos
