Milk, Kidway, and Snowcones

Across the street from the Miracle Barn, we bellied up to the Milk Bar, drank, refilled, and drank again.

On our way across the fairgrounds, we walked through the DNR building and exhibits. At the fish pond, a ranger spoke about various species in the state, and granddaughters looked for some they recognized. Then the girls took a familiar trek through the display of native animals. Outside a falconer demonstrated the training and characteristics of falcons by using four birds and their handlers.

Moving on to the Kidway, girls used their tickets on favorite rides and worked up a thirst that only snow-cones could satisfy. As we sat cooling in the shade, we saw many fair goers buy the new bacon ice cream, but we resisted. Homemade vanilla ice cream flecked with maple-coated bacon bits! Maybe next time?
