Well, Sarah was awfully proud that Titus, Asher, and (most of all) I made it 13 hours at the State Fair yesterday.
Some highlights:
Titus’ favorite food: Cinnamon Roasted Almonds
Asher’s favorite ride: The frog hopper
Best date event with Sarah: Apple cider and the Bonsai trees (she bought one today) in the Horticulture Building
Asher’s favorite place to sleep: On his daddy, right next to ‘Monster Shop Bump’n with BC Characters’, a [loud] family break dancing show
Titus’ best comment (while taking a rest outside the International Bazaar): “Nana, this is a lot.”
Results of my “who can eat more different fair foods” competition with Mom (Steffen): Hands down, I lost.
Wow! That’s amazing! That’s a really long time at the Fair! I want to hear about all of the different foods that you tried and which one was your favorite. One year we’ll make it to the Fair and spend the day there. We are talking about going to the Renassaince Festival this year, perhaps. Never been, not sure if it’s worth it or not…Have you guys ever been there?
Here’s the list of the things I tried, and my opinion of whether the full deal is worth it:
FOOD – GRADE – NOTES
*******************
Carmel Roll – ok – Normal carmel roll
Mini Donuts – ok – Normal mini donuts, but nice and hot!
Scone – ok – Like a really good biscuit
Strawberry Shortcake – no – I’d prefer a Twinkie & strawberry jam
Cheese Curds – yes – These things are great!
Sweet Martha’s cookies – yes – A staple for me
Deep Fried Veggies – ok – Liked the crispy veggies!
Nitro Ice Cream – ok – Sarah says: “The smoothest ice cream you’ll ever had, but not great taste.”
Cinn. Roasted Almonds – yes – Titus will back me up
Beef Stick – ok – Normal beef stick
Cheese Curds (round 2) – yes – Almost makes me like Wisconsin
Australian Potatoes – yes – Sarah’s favorite (after the footlong for breakfast…blech!)
Legend:
Yes – I _will_ eat that again
Ok – Depends on my mood, but not a staple
No – Unimpressed
I was so proud of you Andy, for the length of time you spent at the fair (any no whining was heard 🙂 and for the number of foods you tried. You have definitely become a state fair goer!!!! We love being at the fair with all of you and we appreciate your willingness to indulge us. Love you, Mom
