Sueeeeeeeeey!

OK, well, the pig was already a goner when we headed up to Vadais Heights yesterday for one of Mike's most coveted activities - a real pig roast! and he wasn't disappointed!!!

Car Show

And on the 20th, we went to the Back to the 50s car show at the fairgrounds...gorgeous day, lots of cars and FAIR FOOD, of course!!!

Some days, it just rains.

We went to a little fair in St. Paul yesterday called Highland Fest. It rained...then the sun came out...it was hot and muggy. So we wandered around and got a little fair food and got home just in time for another storm and deluge. Some days, it just rains.

Car Show

Mike walked my socks off at the car show this weekend. Fun, but 5 hours on the feet are not conducive to having any energy left at the end of the day. He got his kicks out of the cars and french fries, I entertained myself with the camera!

Minnesota State Fair

In September, Mike and I went to the State Fair. It was a lot of fun....we walked around, grazed on fair food (corn dogs, fries, chicken on a stick, uffda treats, and sno-cones). We didn't do any of the wild rides (finding our way through the crowds was wild enough!), but we did pay to go into a butterfly room, which was really neat.

Oh and I did get to see Lori and Julia, a couple of my favorite radio personalities here in the cities :)

Bunnies and Fireworks

I went out to water my mums on Friday - and AFTER I was done watering, I found these:
Baby bunnies!! Well....here they kinda look like drowned rats. They are only a few days old here - their eyes weren't even open the first day I found them. The only reason I was able to spot them was because - bad me - I must have filled their nest with water so they had to stick their little heads out to breathe. Fortunately (or not - depends on your point of view) - they all made it. So I've been careful watering now. They had their eyes open Saturday and are getting bigger already. So far I've counted three for sure and maybe four.

On Saturday, we went to Taste of Minnesota in St. Paul. In addition to tons of junk food (including roasted corn, ribs, gyros, shrimp-on-a-stick and spiral spuds), there was live music (they have three stages) - we saw Los Lonely Boys (pretty good band, we saw them with Santana last year) and The Association (do NOT pay money to go see them - ever! They can still sing the songs, but believe me...they do NOT sound the same! LOL)
Finished off with fireworks - here's one of the shots I took.

No huge plans for the fourth here....working today, and planning on going to the lake in Bloomington tonight to see our city's fireworks display. Hope you all are having fun and have a safe and happy Holiday!!!
