Minnesota State Fair



Farmer Matti heads out to the field on her John Deere




Grandma B. and Mommy help the girls feed the chickens




The closest we could get to a decent picture of the two squirmy little monkeys in the barn





Matti takes Mommy on the Caterpillar, a ride that seemed to go way too fast for little kids - but the faster it went the more Matti liked it. She's got a need for speed!





Check it out! Riding the mini Ferris wheel like a pro




Watch out Grandma, I think Matti's about to eat your chain saw




Ellie Bean gets a little lunch - all this ridin' around sure makes a girl tired




Matti lovin' up some brand-new Holsteins




Little-known fact about Daddy: despite having been born and raised on a farm, this was the first time he had ever hand-milked a cow (ours were BEEF cows...)




...and some warm Sweet Martha's cookies to finish out our adventure!




A surprise visit from Uncle Everett and Aunt Jan! Ella shows off her stuff
