MN State Fair~

Saturday Jesse and I decided to go to the State Fair. I hadn't been there since I was about 7(?) with grandma and grandpa. We had the perfect day to walk around outside and eat! A few of our favorites??-- Umm- Sweet Martha's cookies ( Jesse could have probably ate about 24 of these), cheese curds, gyros..... just to name a few. We decided to take a bus there to avoid the driving mess ( and I'm glad we did!). There were TONS of people~ felt like millions~. We took the skyride from one end of the fair to ther other. That was pretty neat. It's kind of like a zipline- only you are sitting inside a bucket watching everyone below. We didn't go on any other rides, but certainly enjoyed all the people watching!

After the fair, we went up to Maple Grove. Didn't find much- a couple of shirts for teaching, and Jesse found a pair of shoes. We debated going to a movie, but were too tired.

Yesterday was another busy day. We started off with a trip to Caribou. That's one of my favorite things to do ( I wish it wasn't!) when I am here. I brought my computer- Jesse, a book, and we just sit and monkey around for about an hour. It's quite relaxing. In the aftertnoon we took a trip to the "teacher store" to buy some letter stamps. I could literally spend hours in this store-- but my funds won't allow it! I always find something I need!?! Luckily this trip I made it out the door with just my small purchase. After homemade shrimp fettucine for dinner we watched the movie Shooter. It was ok.... not really my type of movie~ a little gruesome.

All in all- I've had a great weekend relaxing in the cities and feel about ready to start school. I am looking forward to a week at home before the craziness begins. Better run for today. I hope this post finds everyone enjoying the end of summer!
