Lucas and Henry go to the Minnesota State Fair

Lucas is 11 months old! He has started a very unique 3 legged, sitting up version of crawling and is getting everywhere and into everything. He hasn't quite mastered pulling his own body weight up, but he's getting very close. He has 6 teeth and is eating any finger food we put in front of him, but still refuses to take anything pureed (or anything from a spoon for that matter). 

Matt's favorite section of the fair, the seed art in the Agricultural building.

We braved the Minnesota State Fair again this year. It was Lucas' first trip, and he slept through a lot of it. Now that Henry has been several years in a row, he is starting to ask to go to certain areas (specially to see the cows and horses, go on the gondola ride and to see "trucks" on machinery hill). Henry remains absolutely fearless of the massive animals we encountered and didn't even react when a cow went stood up while he was petting it. It is still relatively inexpensive to go to the Fair with Henry because he refused to try any of the food; but Matt and I enjoyed some mini doughnuts and honey sunflower seed ice cream. He also hasn't discovered all of the rides and games in the Midway, but I'm sure that will change in the years to come!
