One State Fair picture
I only took one picture at the State Fair. As you can see, it is a good one. For those who don’t know….. 3M headquarters are in St Paul.
3M Duct Tape making the world a prettier place.
We had a really great time but I got two really big blisters on my right foot. That was a surprise because that is my ‘good’ foot. And we walk for 40-50 minutes every night with Mona and no blisters. Same shoes.
So, Blips went back to the State Fair on Saturday and I stayed home. Here he is with his 100 pocket pants having coffee before he heads to the State Fair express bus. I think he is so handsome! No duct tape needed.
This is what we ate:
State Fair hot dog ,Tom Thumb donuts, rootbeer, ice vanilla coffee for me and mocha for blips, pulled pork sandwich, ice carmel coffee for me and mocha for blips, ice water, Martha’s cookies(just a cone and not a bucket), vanilla shake, skin-on french fries, a water to drink on the bus on the way home. We each had our own hot dog, rootbeer and coffee. We shared everything else and did not get a bucket of Martha’s cookies to bring home. That was our plan to eat healthy. Well, we thought it was a good plan……do I still hear laughter???? I wanted to make sure I ate one thing……dots ice cream and blips wanted a rootbeer float. Everytime we were in front of the dots stand, I was not hungry for ice cream. Same for the rootbeer float. We were unable to find the tator tot hot dish on a stick. I would have tried that, it is new this year. Maccaroni and cheese on a stick is new this year also but we had no desire to try that. I am very pleased to report that when I got on the scale on Sunday, it was down 2 more pounds. wooo hooo!!!!! I guess I should go to the State Fair more often. hehehehehehhe

Wow, sounds like you had a great time! Don’t they say people spend on average $150 per person? I think you probably stayed below that! So well done!
My favorite is the all you can drink milk stand. First a trip to Martha’s Cookies then a walk to the milk stand! Mmmmmm!

As Maxima already said, I went back on Saterday and now have a lot more video to show, it takes a while but the videos will be posted in the next couple of days. Check back often! I lost a few pounds too but found one back later.
See the video that will be up today.
