Nolan's first Mississippi Valley Fair!

So while it was rough week at the Gustaf house things are getting back to normal.  Nolan is back to his happy giggly self and looking better everyday.  I am very thankful for my mom and family & friends for kind words and prayers!  Now onto happier things...Nolan experienced his first fair last Saturday and we had so much fun!  As you can see below he wasn't to enthused when we arrived.

His dad however, had enough enthusiasm for all of us. Starting out with his extra long corn dog.

Then his banana strawberry smoothie...

Don't forget some amazing 3,000 calorie chips with nacho cheese!

Nolan unfortunately missed it all..and woke up to this sight.

Here are the stats of Bud because I'm sure you are interested:

Nolan meeting geese for the first time.  Not a fan.

I think this was a goat.  Hans felt the need to touch and pet every animal.

Meeting the huge Clydesdales.

 At times I found myself questioning if Nolan or Hans was having more fun. 

We even attended the horse trotting contest..I wasn't able to maintain my ADD for more than 5 minutes at this event.

Next onto the camels!

As it had now been 30 minutes since we had last eaten we decided to get a red velvet funnel cake with some icing.

 Uhhh dad..I think your choking me.

We even attended a Pee Wee Hermann type musical show.. Attached is the link if you want to get a little taste of what we experienced: http://youtu.be/fOxoLeBnwzk

On the way out we went through the "Cool fan" which Nolan...& Hans loved!

 And then ended the day by playing a little on the firetruck!
