The Great Minnesota Get Together 2012

We went to the Fair yesterday! Reid got tickets ahead of time through work.  The girls were up from their naps and ready to go pick Daddy up by 3pm.  We did the awesome park and ride for free! Always Sally's highlight, riding the bus!

As always the girls were wonderful! Sally enjoyed saying what she did want to eat and ride and Libby just kicked and smiled the whole time. It was a very sucessful trip.  Ending it with coming up close and personal with a celebrity, well, a celebrity at our house, Amelia Santaniello, News anchor for WCCO.

Sally was shy at first, but then came out of her shell.  She was star struck! She told her how she was sad when she wasn't on the news sometimes, but Mommy told her she was either sick or on vacation. 

Amelia also noticed cute little Libby hanging out behind us, chewing on her toes.  She said she was so adorable and could just take a bite out of how cute her little toes were.  After we left Sally was announcing to everyone that  she just met Amelia.  She took her bow out on the bus ride home and said, "There, now I have pretty hair just like Ameila!" Thank you Amelia, for taking the time to talk to my little girl.

Loaded on the bus, ready to rock the fair!

Love that Sally knew exactly what to do without being told...if only Libby knew how to take pictures I could have filled the other slot

See those Sally? Daddy shoots those with his gun. He didn't really say that ;-)

Pickle on a stick!

Did you watch the 5 o'clock news last night? You can spot us in the bottom corner of the screen.  The best part? Reid made sure to stand away from us because he didn't want to get on tv.  He's on there more than us and you can see him taking this picture :) We always record the news so we have it saved on our DVR, it was good for a few laughs last night!

She couldn't resist

Finally, mommy gets a turn to take Sally on a ride! So many giggles the entire way down!

Her Fair snack of Cherrios!

Taking a minute to cool off

His Fair visit wouldn't be complete without a corndog!

"Hi Amelia!" {Our second visit back to see Amelia}

"Hello there Sally, it is so great to meet you!"
