Minnesota State Fair

Jess and Jacob took Cal and Sammy to the fair while I stayed home with Isaac and Freddie. It worked out great, since the Rods (Rodriguezes) thrive on crazy, dirty, over-priced tourist attractions (Sorry, Jess... but it's kinda true, right?). Cal had such a fun time! Thanks to our friends who treat our children as they treat their own. Everything I write after this is from Jess' testimony.

The boys were immediately attracted to the blow-up bats and hammers.


Cal continued to ask about the hammers throughout the day.


Then Sammy and Cal showed off their awesome unicorns.


Jess brought me back some of Aunt Martha's Famous Cookies- and I didn't even ask her to. Mmmmm.

They both got a corn dog. Cal ate all the corn off of his and left the rest. Somehow, it ended up back at home.


I love this picture of Sammy. He's pumped.



Jacob took Cal on the hot-air balloon ride. He loved it.

When Eric asked Cal what he did at the fair, Cal said, "We rode in a boat! It went up up up to the sky and then came down. Water SPLASHED into the boat!" That was true.
