Week of the Papaya (23 weeks)

Apparently Baby Mangum is going to be a papaya for a few weeks. This weeks the bones inside her ear are starting to grow and she can hear loud noises outside the womb. Cody better be careful what he says during the night- he only swears in his sleep and on the golf course :)

This week we headed to the Minnesota State Fair with our friends Anna and Mitch Ryan. They are fair veterans so they were able to show us around the fair grounds. The MN Fair is the largest fair in the US and has the most fried food on a stick (talk about something to be proud about :) We spent the day walking around, visiting booths, and of course eating! By the end of the day we had consumed an ear of corn, fried cheese curds (twice), chocolate covered cheesecake on a stick, a cone of cookies, 8 glasses of milk, a corn dog, a frozen apple cider pop, apple cider, and a steak and buffalo kabob. I know, we eat really healthy :) I think the cheesecake and the milk were my favorite fair foods. The milk was great because we bought a cup for a dollar and then we got free refills and it went great with our cookies! We had a great time and were a little sad that we probably won't be here to go again next year :(

Stopped by to see some of my relatives

This was also Cody's first week of school and he survived! This semester should be easier for him school wise but now he is applying for fellowships for next year so that will keep him plenty busy! 

This weekend we attended the annual MHA Fishing Trip in Brainerd, MN which is about 2.5 hours north of Minneapolis. There was a bonfire, volleyball, watching football games, playing Yahtzee, sitting by the lake, and meeting lots of new people. I wish I would have taken pictures, it was beautiful and we had a great weekend.
