Pictures from Como Zoo, Water Park of America and the State Fair

Last weekend we took a mini trip to the Twin Cities for a great lunch, an attempt at Como Zoo (parking was an issue so we didn't make it very far at the zoo), fun at the water park and a great day at the Minnesota State Fair. Here's the proof:
A smiley Ella at the Cheesecake Factory -- Yum!



The kids loved watching this little guy!

Fun at the water park!



James loved going down the big slide with Daddy. He took three trips down and begged for more.

A highlight at the fair: A Sky Ride

We did this earlier in the morning when the fair wasn't so busy yet.

An encounter with this robot proved to be quite entertaining. The kids were in awe.


Fun on James' ride of choice--He thought the race car ride was the best!

James has the best view from Daddy's shoulders.

Somehow Cotton Candy tastes the best at the State Fair!
