The Great MN Get-Together

Recognize that food on a stick? It's our favorite...Pronto Pups!!

And the kids favorite...Cotton Candy!!




What a better way to start a blog than a well loved Halloran tradition...the MN State Fair! Each year becomes more of a challenge...more kids to tote...more food to eat. We managed to chomp on many of our favorits, including but not limited to: Pronto Pups, Cheese Curds, Cotton Candy, Fried Cream Cheese Pickles, Fried Green Beans (new this year), Honey Ice Cream (courtesy of Grandma Halloran), Sweet Martha's Cookies, Snow Cones, Carmel Apples w/nuts...and the list goes on.
The weather was perfect, sunny and 79 degrees. We met Grandma & Grandpa Halloran there and walked around with them for a few hours. Nolan and Dad took a ride on the go carts, while Grandpa kept Tori busy with his pocket full of goodies. Grandma knows just what everyone likes...anyone for a Reuben Sandwich?!! We saw horses, cows, pigs and goats, and many many people. No better people watching than the fair!

A couple of side notes:
1) A special "Hi" to my brother Chris who made it safely to England today. He is there for a year working. Send us a note when you can!
2) A special "thanks" to my friend Jensen. Thanks for the blogging inspiration, and for letting me borrow a couple of ideas from your page!

So here it is...my first blog.

Yay! Thanks Kathleen-
Now we can all keep updated. I tried this on my MySpace page but because I only logged on every other month deleted it. We'll see if you can keep it updated the busier you get ;)
Have a good week - can't wait to hear about Nolan's experiences at Pre-School!!!!
Hugs and Kisses-
