Iowa State Fair

We made our annual trip to the Iowa State Fair this year. Heather loves the fair and I enjoy it for the most part, I have come to the realization that if I want to enjoy the fair, I need to take a day off of work and we go in the middle of the week, which is exactly what we did this year!

This giant sand sculpture greeted us as we headed to Little Hands on the Farm

 These little hands were excited to see what farming is like!

 Time to plant!

 Pick your seeds wisely and plant in the good soil!

 Time to drive the tractors...don't forget gas...an ethanol blend made from corn, of course!

 Sharp turn and then down the hill!

 Through the dairy for get milk and then head to the market!

 After the farm, we headed to see some farm animals!

 Blythe wasn't too sure about the calf.

 Posing with the 760 lbs giant pumpkin!

 Quick stop at the train playground

 And then the giant slide!

 All smiles as the 5 of us came flying down!

 These bacon wrapped hamballs stuffed with cheese and covered in BBQ sauce were amazing!

 This bad boy on a Bad Boy Mower!

 Pretending to be farmers!

 Cheese!

 Nothing runs like a deere!

 All three in the scoop of a front loader!

 One more picture from a huge tractor

 And as the day came to a close (for us anyway), these two were Happy Campers and had a ton of fun at the fair!

Nothing Compares to the Iowa State Fair!!!
