Here we go!  Our favorite weekend of the year!!  Grampy arrived right on time, we drove in a torrential rain to our saved parking spot and picked up the Caveman for round one in the GREAT MINNESOTA GET TOGETHER 2018!!!!

Bennett thinks it's a secret, but I'm sure everyone knows, this phase is his favorite.  He 100% loves walking around the fair with only grown ups - and his favorite men grown ups likely make it 110%.  We stopped for some food about every 90 minutes and a beer every 45.  We checked out some barns and wild life.  Then, it was time for the girls to arrive - wearing their ponchos!  It was obviously time for some buckets of cookies!

AP was the last to arrive (always the working man) and then the fun really began, as we crept closer and closer to the mid-way...

 These little faces, with tired eyes and ginormous grins are my favorite faces.  (Harps, too, but she was pretty anti-tilt --whirl at this moment.)
