State Fair!

We took Penny for the first time to State Fair. She did fairly well... She got a little overheated and we had to declothe her, but she was ok. We got to see lots of animals, and they were all scared of Penny. She would run up to the cage and rattle the bars and they would run away.

 Penny also got to meet the Sprecher mascot.  I think it is a blackbird?  I think she thought he was just a big stuffed animal that moved.

One of the fair foods I will not be trying, there isn't many words I can use to describe this, but one comes to mind...SICK!
 Penny and Chuck went down the mega slide together.  Chuck says that she was laughing the whole way down.  I wish I could have gone down too but it was like $4 a person!  Rip off!
We of course had to get a cream puff!  You can't go to State Fair in Wisconsin without getting one.  Penny didn't know what to think at first, which is dumbfounding because I squirt whip cream in her mouth often.  But, she later found out that it gave her a sugar high and she got really really slap happy!



 Over all a good experience, maybe the last one here in Wisconsin:(  While I am blogging,  the other day there was quite the light show in the sky.  I know my mom and dad will appreciate this, I just wish they were here!  The sky was a brilliant shade of green, purple and pink.  I have a few pictures but it was nothing compared to seeing it in real life.  Soo beautiful!


Then  few seconds later it turned a different color!  I love the strangely beautiful Wisconsin sky.


And since I kind of created my own tradition of a random picture (I didn't do it last time) I have one to share.  This one I think my sister Paige will appreciate.  When I was little I had a big Buddha belly.  Paige would often blow raspberries on it and squeeze it for a good portion of the day.  Can you guess who is following in her mama's footsteps?  
Now I have someone to blow raspberries on and squeeze incessantly throughout the day!
