We visited the Iowa State Fair last Friday. It was a beautiful day in Iowa! We just hit the favorites this year due to a toddler who chose not to listen 25% of the time, a frustrated father (due to the toddler) and an exhausted mother (who probably should have rested at home). The other 75% of the time was great though. We just often forget how good it is when someone doesn't listen 100% of the time! Lauren loved the Lego Iowa display up above. The fair is never complete without a stop at the Iowa State booth to get tattoos and football posters! We love you Cy!!!
We started at the Little Hands on the Farm. Always a hit!
The girls enjoying their sweet reward from the Farm after all of their hard work.
We also saw newly born piglets, a 3 hour old baby calf, ducks, baby ostrich (that tried to peck Meredith in the face. It was a good thing that there was glass between them), turkeys and 2 hour old baby lambs.
The girls LOVE the animal barns. We watched a little bit of a horse show and then Lauren was in heaven walking through the horse barns and petting as many as she could. Her favorite horses are the paint horses.
The big slide...
Who needs the Midway when you can play on all the John Deere Tractors. Best entertainment ever!!!
My mom always asks "What did you eat at the fair?" Lauren always has a walking taco and a snow cone. Meredith wanted chocolate ice cream (I didn't know she liked chocolate ice cream), Clay always eats at the Cattleman's Beef Quarters and I always get a peanut butter Fair Square.
