The boys have been early risers for a while…well, earlier than their mom, that is.  This morning was a bit extreme though.  It’s funny how on the ball they are when they know there is something exciting in store for the day.  We have been “counting sleeps” since last week in anticipation of the MN State Fair.  Well, this morning I was sweetly awoken by my “middle little,” all dressed with his bed made and everything.  He came into our bedroom and said, “today we get to go to the Fair!”  If only it were as easy to get them up on “regular” days of the week.

We met Jake at the fairgrounds after he was finished with work.  We took in the John Deere tractors, little kids farm area where the trio got to “do chores” and then tried out the Giant Slidewith our friend, Michelle and her fiancé, Angelo.  From there, we headed to the space needle for a round-a-bout view of the metro.  Yummy, deep-fried food, sheep, chickens & rabbits and lots of people watching rounded out the evening.  The kids had a great time 🙂
