Wisconsin State Fair

You'd think growing up in Texas I'd have seen my fair share of cowboys and hicks, you were wrong. We had the delightful opportunity to attend the Wisconsin State Fair with my sister Brooke and her husband Tyler and their two kiddos, Tanner and Katelyn a few weekends ago. We had the best time walking around and looking at the animals and sampling fair food. We were a little bit nervous to attend because the day before quite a few people were attacked as they left the fair grounds when it was closing. 26 people were arrested. Crazy. Our favorite quote from fox news about the subject "People come to the fair to see chickens and pigs, not get beat up". So true, so true. Happily, no one in the DeVries or the Hedin families got beat up that day. We did get to sample delicious fried Milky Ways, Fish and Chips, Lemonade and flavored milk. Our two favs were probably the fried milky way and the cherry vanilla milk. More of that please! We had a great time and I felt very loved as Katelyn wanted me to hold her hand the whole time. I loved it! Sometimes you forget how fun it is to be an aunt when you have your own kid begging for attention. It was extremely hot, so by the end of the day we were exhausted and needed to go home. My sister is also pregnant and so we commiserated with each other as we walked back to the car. Aching hips, sore feet, etc. Thanks Hedins for the great day at the fair! We loved it.
