State Fair - Round 2

Took Conner to the State Fair - Mom/Son day since Dan broke his toe and can't walk that far. We were there for 7 hours! Didn't eat too much, just went on a ton of rides. Well - I should say that Conner went on a ton of rides - I went on two. The pirate ghost ride in the kiddie section (lame-o. I do not recommend it) and a giant swing ride that made me somewhat ill.

The one celebrity siting will thrill my mom - we were about 4 feet away from Sven Sungaard - the channel 11 weather guy. He was trying to get ready for what looked to an interview in the eco building and some ladies interrupted him for a photo. He initially looked irritated, so I didn't ask for a photo - sorry Mom!

We stopped for a bit to watch a ventriloquist show and Conner volunteered to be a helper. Their job was to keep the beat while some adults were rapping:

These are some rides he went on - started out with the giant slide - a little sunny in the AM!

Something called "The Viper":

The Scrambler:

And a snowbug/ladybug, some dang bug ride:

Finally, a fun-house type of adventure - he went on several of these:

We also went on a skyride, the sky-tower ride and the River Raft ride. I was pooped! Conner fell asleep in the chair about 6:30pm.
