Are you going to Scarborough Fair?

Well... they don't hold that one any more.

But we spent the past two weekends living it up at the Wright and Carver count fairs. As always, it is a Lollapalooza of farm animals, cotton candy, carnival rides, hot dogs, tractors, deep fried cheese curds, and - the coup d'etat- the demolition derby! Ericka and I took turns taking Mathias to two different derbies - the noise level is a bit much for Johan (he'll be coming along next year with ear plugs).

We met Dawn, Charlie, Deb, and Natalie at the Carver county fair. Dawn volunteered to take Mathias on the big slide.
