As some of you may or may not know, Kevin is OBSESSED with the State Fair. He has explained to me multiple times that this obsession stemmed from early childhood. Being from the Como Park area, attending the fair every summer became a ritual... and he has been ever so kind to start including me in this ritual.
Last year we attended the fair together for the first time ever, so when we went this year I considered myself "seasoned vet status." I am embarrassed to even disclose how much food we managed to destroy, but amidst the calorie fest we had a pretty good time.
My sister Alli (and my Maid of Honor) came along for the ride and I am pretty sure she enjoyed the festivities as well. Her and I fell in love with an acapella group called Marcoux Corner. They were great and they even sang a little tribute to my hero, Neil Diamond! Needless to say, we spent a decent part of the afternoon in the adirondack chairs enjoying Leinie's Honeyweiss (with a lemon, of course!)
After multiple snacks and a day of people watching, we took our handfuls of goodies and drug our dirty, little feet out of the fair grounds. After a quick nap in the grass we made it back to the car and set off for home. Score: State Fair-1, Alli-0. Sorry Al, better luck next year!!
