State fair, sad goodbyes and back to school

The Minnesota State Fair was happening a few weeks ago and I was able to go twice.
It was fun. Lots of things to see and rides to ride (although I didn't go on any. :) ).
There were thousands of things to eat and drink and try out. I loved the deep fried Oreos! :) Watched a couple of animal shows and other shows.

One of the not so nice things that happened this last month, was what was going on with a friend of mine. She had been feeling sick for a while and was getting worse. I spend one night at the hospital (ER) with her, after she had to be picked up from an ambulance. They couldn't find anything, but after the same thing happened again some days later and she was in the hospital for a week, they decided, that it would be best to send her home to Sweden to get better there. So we had to say goodbye way to soon, which was sad.

The summer is over and my kids started school again.
Gracie is in 3rd grade now, which she seems to enjoy! :)
Ike is in kindergarden and already made a bunch of new friends!! He likes going on the bus with the other kids now.
Matty started preschool and is gone most mornings now. He likes getting a lot of playtime with new friends!

I had to say another good bye to another friend of mine. Klara left for Sweden last week after her year came to an end. We went for one last coffee (on this side of the world) and it was nice to be able to hang out one more time!

A happy thing that happened was a great surprise this week!
My friend Maja, who used to be our neighbors AuPair, came to visit her family and I didn't know she was coming. So it was a great surprise to see her!!!

I am down to my last 51 days, which seams so unreal...
