We made it to the La Crosse Interstate Fair, one day before it ended, and about 60 minutes before the storm rolled in. This year, we brought mom’s friends along: Ale, Sheyda, and their kids!

Genesee was thrilled to ride a pony, despite mom being unthrilled by the $8 price tag. I ran into my friend, Jackson, and together we went on as many rides as $20 could buy us (not many). But, one rainbow snow cone and a bucket of mini donuts later, and we were rushing out of the fairgrounds due to imminent weather. It was good while it lasted!
