weekend visit with family-part 1

we had some visitors here in the good ol' state of wisconsin. tyler's brother, andy, flew out from utah and emily and her husband, wes, drove up from chicago. since wisconsin's state fair was running, we decided to check it out with them. we were told not to miss it. so off we went to people watch and eat.
we decided to head out on friday morning, which i decided we will never do again. turns out, attending the fair mid-morning/afternoon time is quite hot. next time we'll try an evening run. despite the heat, we still had fun checking out the sites and sounds of the fair.








we tried to get katelyn to pose for this, but she wouldn't. luckily emily and andy were willing to do it.

before we went, we kept hearing about all of the food the fair had to offer. tyler was dying to try the legendary cream puffs, and it turns out, they were pretty good. however, we did skip out on the chocolate covered bacon and the deep fried oreos.



even katelyn enjoyed a bit or two

and no fair would be complete without riding at least one ride, right? we shelled over the two bucks to go down the slide. it must have been a hit because katelyn asked to go again.




tyler claims the enthusiasm on his face is due to the fact that he was trying to make the slide exciting for katelyn.

we also heard about the pig, goat and duck races and were too curious not to attend. the races were pretty funny to watch. they assigned you a color to cheer for then they would send the animals out and you cheered your color on.



i don't think our goat did very well, but it was still entertaining to watch.

the fair was fun to attend, and we're glad we went. it was especially fun to have some family tag along with us. thanks for coming guys!
