We headed to the State Fair last Saturday with Gina and Todd. I had a lot of inner dialogue about how I was going to lug my camera around. After a lot of back and forth, we finally got to the fair, parked the car, started walking to the gate aaaand I realized I didn't put the battery in my camera. eeeeeerrrrrghh! I was in a pretty bad mood for at least 10 mins afterwards.

There are worse things in life obviously though, so I got myself some Saz's and all was ok in the world :)

We checked out the animals, the pig races and the other standard fair stuff. So fun. I am already kind of mourning the coming end of summer and this kind of stuff. I love it so much.

On Memorial Day we headed to Brat Fest. It is the world's largest brat festival, if you must know. They attempt to break the record of brats consumed in a 4 day span every year. Sounds like something healthy and Wisconsin-like, no? Anyway, here is the semi-truck where they grill the brats. Yes, that's right. A semi-truck that is also a grill.

FYI, the record was broken this year. 203,752 brats consumed. I had a hot dog. woops.

Also, I kind of wish the compostion of the pic was different. I wish there was less ground and more sky. oh well.
