The Kecks

We enjoyed a day at the MN State Fair over the weekend- it was a beautiful day to be out and enjoying fair food!  We had the usual (corn, cheese curds, cookies, malt, bull bites) and tried a few new ones, too- pronto pup, tater tots on a stick, and a pickle dog (pickle wrapped in cream cheese and pastrami).  Lauren loved the tater tots and the strawberry malt, but she did not get to try the cheese curds… it’s a little early for all the cheese and grease!

This year she was able to enjoy a couple of rides- Josh took her on the gunny sack slide and I took her on a carousel ride.  I think she was a little nervous on both of them since she didn’t seem to smile too much.  That surprised me since she loves when Josh swings her by her feet or throws her in the air.  Lauren really liked the Birthing Center where she could see the baby animals up close… she got to pet a lamb and a little piglet!

Lauren had her first official day in the toddler room today.  When Josh picked her up, the daycare girls said that if the level of dirtiness determined the day, Lauren had an excellent day- her shorts are so dirty that I just might have to toss them.  Sand in her hair, in her shoes, in her diaper… she really plays hard with her new friends!
