Fair thee well

We visited both the WI and IL state fair's this year. Cousin Michelle joined us at the WI state fair in Milwaukee. We did our favorites, the bunny/chicken barn; a few rides in the midway, the Wisconsin Products pavilion (yum!) and cream puffs (the puff is really secondary to the cream).





The following weekend we went to the IL state fair with cousins Kellen and Chloe. The Douglas "core" flocked to the pronto pups and lemon shake-ups. I think the IL State Fair food takes second place to WI's food - but the homemade ice cream was pretty good.

Jacob and Kellen chose the giant bungy bounce thing as their ride. It was $7, but with no line, I think they might have gotten to jump a little extra time. Allison and Chloe stuck to the old favorite - the merry-go-round.
