ND State Fair

Before I tell about our great day. Let me start by saying I'm a little worried that we haven't heard from Pumpco in a week now. M had a follow up interview last monday and in the week since: Nothing!!!! Hopefully this week.

That said: We walked over to the Fair. What a work out! We weren't sure that we would make it across the street. But we did.

The parade lasted just about 4 hours. We caught bits and pieces of it. Unfortunately a little girl fell off one of the floats and was run over. She went to the hospital but I don't think her injuries where really bad.

Some things we did!

-tour model homes
-see the horses, bunnies, cows, and sheep
-toured a home that is celebrating 100 years! We where in the house with the Govenor of ND!
-Watched the tigers and a baby cub only six weeks old.
-M took the Air National Guard challenge!
-Wandered around the 4-H and FFA exibits
-had mini donoughts and Smoothies, and a blooming onion
-Sat by some water at the fishing catch and release pond.
-Visited the Fur Trappers Rendezvous
-watch a riding competion
-had a giant rootbeer float

We were there all day!

Vernon was afraid of the tigers when they got up on thier hind legs. He got to pet one of the draft horses. He thought he knew his way around the old train station depot. Ran and jumped and played. And was all around a very well behaved little boy. He didn't take a nap and we didn't get home until 8 o'clock. When we walked home we realized that we were wiped out! A little sunburnt but very happy. We want to go again tomorrow to see the dog show, have some dairy wives ice cream, and talk to some more people.
