Soccer practice and the Great Minnesota Get Together!

Some true signs that summer is coming to an end...Harrison started soccer and the State Fair is on!

We signed Harrison up for a 5 week "Knee High" soccer session through Hopkins Community Ed.  I wasn't really sure how it would go with 3 year olds but we were pleasantly surprise!  He thought he was pretty fancy in his shin guards and soccer shirt.
 The coaches were great!  They kept all the kids engaged.  They started with some conditioning work.
 Then they did some drills...
 Here is H lining up his ball for a shot.
 Our buddy Jack is also doing soccer and they enjoyed their much needed water break.
 On the field next to where H was playing, his buddy Evan Seefeldt was doing the 4 year old program!
Sunday we headed out to the State Fair.  Luckily we go there early on Sunday because when we left mid afternoon it was PACKED!

H had been to the Fair last week for a little while with Grandpa and Grandma Lichty so we didn't spend too much time in the animal barns.  However, H did enjoy the baby animals!

 There was a tractor simulator that H was loving but he kind of just drove around in circle so he may need a lesson before he actually ever drives one!
 We actually didn't eat that much but we did try the sweet corn ice cream with honey butter...DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!
 We let H pick one carnival ride to go on.  Not surprisingly he chose the race cars.
 Checkin' out a snowmobile....
 Matt and Harrison did a turn on the Giant Slide!  H walked all the way up and was so excited to go down he almost went without Matt.

 There was a really cute little farm where kids could feed fake animals, plant and pick vegetables, milk fake cows, and sell everything at the market.  So fun!

 A new experience for me at the State Fair...spending an hour on tractors!
So sad that summer is coming to an end but fun activities to wrap it up!
