State Fair Time!

This year we were able to bring our kids up to the Iowa State Fair for two days of fun. Here are some of the highlights!

Here are Ryker and Stavia at the "Little Hands On The Farm" exhibit. There is a little path that the kids go through and they get to experience all the different things that farmers do. They get to plant seeds, pick the plants, collect wool, meat, eggs, milk, ride a little tractor, and then sell all the things they collected at the farmers market. They get fake money for their products and go to a little grocery store to spend their money on a snack. It's a very cool exhibit and our kids really like it!



Of course, it wouldn't be a trip to the State Fair without corn dogs. (Side note: Every year I kinda sorta get excited about the fair to get a corn dog, and then I take a bite and remember exactly why I don't get cravings for them more than once a year...ick!)

Here are all three kids posing on the lion in the kids area of the fair.
