We rode the Flume.
We saw ducklings (and chicks and calves and lambs and ponies and piglets) at the Miracle of Birth Center.
We drank All The Milk You Can Drink for $1.00. Yes, the price has gone up -- even I used to pay 25¢ in college. But now you can get really really good chocolate milk. We drank about 8 - 16 oz cups, and carried them with us the rest of the day, just in case we came back near the milk truck.
We talked chicken to the roosters (and they talked back)!
We climbed the Forestry Tower at the DNR Building.
We were one with the people.
We sailed down the Big Slide. Twice!
We ate, drank and rested, and listened carefully to our aunt (off-camera). That's Joe, Rob's roommate, on the right.
We saw (but did not ingest) Deep Fried SPAM curds.
On the Midway, we rode the ferris wheel (on the left) and the rollercoaster (on the right) and played many prize-winning games of skeet shooting and toss-the-ball (no photos, we forgot).
We visited the Butter Princesses in the Empire Commons Building, and the Crop Art and Seed contests in the Horticultural Building.
We found the time to look like an extra in a James Dean movie.
And in the end, we had ice cream cones at Izzy's.

Wonderfully evocative pics...almost as good as being there. Maybe better... all the atmosphere, none of the foot pain.
My daughter is looking very beautiful, not that mothers are prejudiced or anything.
Nor are aunts.
Caro wishes we had photos of the crop art -- I am sorry we didn't take any. Another oversight.
A.
I also like the "one with the people shot" and the "not cheese curds" shot. Just revisiting.
hmmm, Sunday, Sept 9 and no new posts. You do know about extinction and reinforcement schedules, don't you?
Reader keeps pressing the lever, no tasty morsels reward her efforts...
I'm pretty sure I enjoyed this as much as if I had been there. Maybe more.
