Olmsted County Fair

The Eckhoffs invited us to Rochester to attend the Olmsted County Fair. We decided to get the big kids unlimited ride wristbands--it turned out it was a very good idea. I think we came out ahead!
The evening started off with a romantic stroll through the swine barn,
after LOTS of rides the kids (well more the dads, but the kids agreed it was a pretty good idea) went on pony rides,

before the night ended we all went on the Ferris Wheel-Cara LOVED it,

Darren, not so much. After we (Melissa and I) bought all the tickets and were on the ride Darren said, "So this probably isn't a good time to remind you I'm afraid of heights, is it?) Oops, we don't really go on anything high together so I forgot this little tidbit of information. Notice the death grip on Brynn--his other hand was white knuckled on the pole in the center of the ride.

Before we left Cara had a plain cone,
and Darren and Brynn shared a shake.
It was a perfect night at the county fair! Thanks, Eckhoffs for the impromptu invitation!
