Iowa State Fair

We have heard the Iowa State Fair is something everyone should experience at least once in their life, so since we are so lucky to live here in Iowa we had to check it out.  It was pretty much just state fair awesomeness and we had lots of fun.  We started out with the new baby animal barn, pretty darn cute if you ask me and the kids loved. it.  We also ran into the Larson Family in the barn and pretty much kept bumping into each other the rest of the day. 




Next we did "Little Hands on the Farm".  The kids got to do all the different jobs on the farm and earn money and then in the end that got to use the money to buy something in the country store.  Both my kids picked Popsicles. 

 Love this adorable cute boy

We spent the rest of the day watching the Tiger show, going to the Agricultural building and seeing giant produce, the butter cow and the butter Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, trying out some of the interesting fried food and visiting all the different animal barns.  I guess I forgot to take anymore pictures the rest of the day but we had fun.

What an awesome kid-friendly fair! The only one I've been to (in Utah) wasn't at all like that. And I'm very jealous you get to "run into" the Larsons like that. :)
