99% of my friends and the people who read this blog are on Facebook. One is not. I won't name any names but her initials are C.L.S. Oh Courtney (oops), I forgot, my grandpa isn't on facebook either. :) Anyway, most of you saw this picture on facebook, but since we love going to the State Fair, I thought I'd do a quick post of "State Fair - Part 2." Jer and I went again last Thursday since we got tickets to the MercyMe / Jeremy Camp concert. We of course had to get there early so we could eat some more food (most of the same old standby's -- cheese curds, corn, deep fried Twinkie, deep fried Snickers. . . ) Speaking of deep fried Snickers, while we were walking up to the deep fried candy bar stand, Jeremy goes, "Hey, there's Jeremy Camp!" If you've never heard of him, he's a Christian singer, the one we were going to the concert for that night. Lo and behold, Jeremy Camp was right in front of us in line to get a deep fried candy bar.
After he had ordered, Jer tapped him on the shoulder and asked if we could get a picture with him. He said, Sure!, was super nice and friendly, and kept reassuring us that all the deep fried items in his bowl weren't all for him. A few minutes later his band was all standing around him eating, so sure enough, they weren't all for him.
After that we met up with our friends the Lewis', got some cookies, got caught in a rainstorm at the milk stand (see below),
and while standing under the milk stand's awning, saw a full double rainbow, which was neat.
We then watched our friend Andy (on the left below) take part in the "Ghost Wing" challenge. It was no sweat for him.
Then we watched a rodeo awhile. . .
before heading over to the grandstand for the concert. The concert was good but chilly. Jeremy Camp was great, MercyMe was ok. Here's a little snippet of Jeremy Camp singing 'Jesus Saves,' which is one of our favorite songs on his new CD.

I love that song! And Jeremy Camp is one of my favorites.
You guys always have such a great time at the fair -- and to think neither of you are Minnesotans!
Thanks for the blog comment -- we think he is pretty cute, too! And thanks for the compliment, but Lily is conveniently hiding my belly in that picture!
