Have Jetlag? Go to a giant Steam Threshers Reunion!

Nick got back friday night and we went to a giant flea market on saturday morning!

I did not get any good pics but I never even saw the whole thing.

I did get a super yummy cinnamon roll though! That night there was a possible Aurora Borealis so I went out and watched for it.

His parents and some of the kids came out for a bit also.

We never saw it but I loved taking pictures of them looking at the sky. The next day we went to the Western Minnesota Steam Threshers Reunion!

We had gone several years ago and I really wanted to make sure we went on this trip when I found out it was going on at the same time.

Nick’s dad went also with all his brothers kids and we accidently went to opposite sides of the event.

It is huge.

We could not find each other for a while and I was pretty sure my kids were going to mutiny.

Thankfully we finally figured it out! I can’t really blame them, everything is better with cousins. There are so many things to see and do there!

They even have an old time village with a blacksmith shop.

Nine kids!

And we didn’t lose a single one…

The twins have some pretty bad allergies so one of them figured out right away being anywhere near the threshing was a bad idea!

She walked over, looked at it, and started sneezing. We ended the event by swapping some kids and then when we got to our opposite sides remembering that our oldest had our keys…

Little Bit does not like loud noises.

Thankfully we brought her some ear muffs!

Ford’s are so tough they can pull a whole house…

I really enjoyed this event an am glad we drove out to Fairview to go.

You can see the post I did about the campground we stayed in here, and the other place we visited here.
