どもども。
Hi there!
皆様、いかがお過ごしでしょうか？
How's everything going today?
今日もめいの時差ぼけ解消計画、一進一退で奮闘中です。
I'm still working on fixing May-chan's sleep schedule after the trip, and it's been going back and forth so far.
さて、日本帰国の前から滞在中にかけてブログを全く更新していなかったので、ネタが溜まりに溜まっております。
I didn't have a chance to update my blog from before the Japan trip to the end at all, and a lot of stories that I want to share with you guys here are still unwritten.
全然タイムリーじゃない話題ばかりになると思いますが、自分自身の記録の為にも諦めずに書いていこうと思います。
So, most of the topics are about what happened in a couple of months ago, but I still want to write about them here for my own record.
で、今日からは今年行ったミネソタステイトフェアの内容をササっとお伝えしていきます。
Today, I'd like to start talking about MN state fair in 2019 and make the articles as simple and short as possible.
ササっと伝えると言いつつも、今年も2日間行ったのと写真が盛りだくさんなので、全部で4記事くらいになりそうですが。。。（汗）
Though I said "as simple and short as possible, Andy and I went there twice and took bunch of pictures as usual. So, I think...it's going to be 4 articles for total. Haha.
では、いきます！
Anyways, let's get it started.
フェアの初日に突撃。我が家はいつも朝一で家を出るようにしてます。（駐車場とか混むので。）
We went to the fair on the opening day. We always try to get there first in the morning before it gets super busy.
で、恒例の朝一写真。（毎年この坂で、朝一の空いている時の様子と帰る時の混んでいる様子を写真に収めています。）
This is our traditional at the fair. A picture in the morning. (We always take pictures at the same spot when we first get there in the morning and then do one in the afternoon right before we leave.)
そして、Hit-chan恒例のジャンプ写真。今年はめいにとって初めてのフェアなので、一緒にジャンプ！（Andyっちのジャンプ写真を撮る腕が良いので、Hit-chan、10㎝くらいしか跳んでませんが、ちゃんとその瞬間を収めてくれました。）
This is my traditional, taking a jump picture. This year was actually May-chan's first fair, so I jumped together with her! (Andy's so used to take my jump pictures and captured this shot after a couple of tries even though I only jumped like 3-4inches. LOL)
で、ここからは食べた物の記録です。(笑)
Okay, here are the fair food record. Haha.
Hit-chanは朝一番はいつもコーヒーを買います。
I always get a cup of coffee first in the morning at the fair.
いつもの屋台で買おうと思って行ったら、屋台の種類が変わってました。
Though, the food stand that I used to by coffee from was replaced with a new vender.
でも、この新しい屋台でもコーヒーを売っていたのでそのまま購入。
They were also selling coffee, so there's no problem to get me fresh coffee.
Andyっちは朝ご飯に昨年食べて美味しかったホットドックを。
Andy got this hot dog for his breakfast since last year, he tried their hot dog for the first time after 10 years or more, and it was actually better than he had expected.
めいにもパンの部分をあげました。なので、めいの初めてのフェアフードはホットドックのパンでした。(笑)
We gave some pieces of the bun to May-chan. So, it was her first fair food! Woo hoo!
で、いつものように動物さん達を見に行きました。めいはまだあんまり興味がありませんでした。
After we finished the hot dog and coffee, we went to the barns as always. We're curious how May-chan would react to the animals, but she's not into them so much.
毎年見てる巨大な豚さん。豚さんの向こう側に立っているHit-chanと比べてもめちゃでかいでしょ？
We always check the biggest pig at the fair too. Look, compared to us standing in the back, she's giant, isn't she?
お馬さんに。。。
We also saw the horses...
うさぎさん。
and bunnies.
そして、Hit-chanが好きな乗馬コンテストを観に行きました。
Then, we went to check out my favorite show, the horse riding contest.
で、乗馬を鑑賞した後はHit-chanの朝ご飯を買いに行きました。
After we enjoyed the contest, we went to grab my breakfast next.
クレープ～♪既に行列ができていてびっくり！
Crepe!! I was surprised that there's already a long line there!
今年のフェアに行って思ったのは、食べ物の屋台が開店し始める時間が早くなった気がします。
What I noticed at the fair this year was that most of the food stands opened and started serving food earlier than before.
今まではコーヒーや朝食を売るお店以外は9時くらいにならないと開かないので、Andyっちと二人で動物を見たり大きな農作業車とかを見て時間を潰して待っていたんですが、今年はその待ち時間もあまりなく、全般的に9時前でも営業を開始している屋台が多かったです。
I remember that Andy and I used to kill some time by checking the barns or big farm vehicles until the food stands opened, but this year, we didn't have to wait so much. I think that most of the stands started serving before 9am.
甘い系もおかず系もあり毎年悩むんですが、今回は苺とホイップクリームのを選びました。
At the crepe shop, I always debate between the sweet types or the meal types (like BLT), and this time, I chose the one with fresh strawberries and whipped cream.
一応、めいの離乳食は持って行ってたんですが、フェアを一緒に楽しみたくて、めいが食べられそうな物はあげてみる事にし、このクレープの生地部分をあげてみましたが、すごく気に入ってくれました。
We brought some May-chan's food from home, but I personally wanted to enjoy the fair together with her and tried to give her something at the fair too. I gave her some of the skin part from the crepe, and she really enjoyed them.
とりあえず、今年のフェア、1日目の前半はこんな感じでした！！
Okay, this is all about the first half of the day at the fair. Thanks for reading again!!!
