Iowa State Fair

It's that time of year again...Iowa State Fair time.

We all went yesterday as a family.  It was PERFECT weather, I know I have posted a lot about weather lately but seriously the weather was beautiful.  Seriously beautiful.  


 We rode the bus down to the fair from the State Capitol Building...

 Jack and Tommy tried the Crazy Mouse ride...loved it

 we sat in and checked out LOTS of tractors and equipment



 Max tried the BIG Yellow Slide for the first time, kind of indifferent on it.  Didn't come down smiling and laughing and didn't come down crying.

 Max loved the cows and baby calves



 Jack posing with a cow *wink wink*




 New this year a Lego Creation Station.  Jack and Max loved this new area.  Jack built a guitar in a contest there and had a great time.


Back for one last slide on the way out...we may need to work on humility a little by the reaction of Jack as he "wins"...

Super fun day.  We ate chocolate chip cookies, shared a lemonade, had lunch at the Pork Producers tents, had some caramel apples and hard boiled eggs too.  It was another year in the books for our family at the fair.
