Cheese curds, yum

Elijah had another fever this morning, but again, it was only 99.5 degrees. Dan called the surgeon's office and talked to a nurse. She said that since Elijah has had a cold, the fever is most likely related to that. As long as it doesn't get higher than 101 degrees and he doesn't start throwing up, we shouldn't worry (ha!). His surgical site looks great. It is healing up very nicely and it doesn't look like anything is out of the ordinary there.

We had been planning on going to the state fair tonight, but we weren't sure if it would be in Elijah's best interest, with him not feeling 100% yet. This afternoon we decided just to do it. If we had to come back home, then oh well. This is the only night we'd be able to go this year, so we went. Dan and I pigged out on some yummy greasy food and about half way through, Elijah started to get fussy. If only we had known at the very beginning that Sweet Martha's chocolate chip cookies cured everything! We gave him 1 1/2 cookies, and he didn't fuss the entire rest of the evening. Not even on the way home or as I was putting him to bed way late, at 8:00. Good thing we brought home extra cookies!


Whoa Mama, look at the huge cow!


I'm just going to sit here and scratch my belly.


Not liking the Oink Booth crown too much. I think this was the beginning of the fussiness. Maybe it was just the smell in the pig barn.


Minnesota's largest boar. 1240 lbs.!


Mmmmm, chocolate chip cookies cure everything!




Cookies and milk!


Elijah was IN LOVE with this statue. We were waiting for Dan as he got us some garlic fries (I can still taste the garlic, gross) and Elijah started pointing his finger at something. He was pointing at this cute little man. I took him out of his stroller and walked over to him and he was just in awe. He checked him out for ten solid minutes.


Reading a book on the way home.


So tired, but being so good.
