Iowa State Fair

It's fair time! We couldn't miss the biggest even in Iowa, so we went last night with some friends.

There was an exotic petting zoo this year where you could feed the animals. Cole had fun feeding the animals, but Ellie wasn't so sure about them. Elise cried when she saw the camels...

She also cried when this goat tried to eat her stroller :)

Cole pointed out that one of the cows "had an accident" when we saw it doing it's business :)
The kangaroos were the only animals that didn't make Elise cry,
probably because they were the only ones that ignored us
This sign was posted on the way out
And now you see why Elise cried the whole time :)

As always there was the butter cow
This year the rest of the butter sculptures were about
"Green Eggs and Ham" by Dr. Seuss

They sure know how to grow 'em here in Iowa :

We discovered why Iowa has such a high obesity rate

Ben took Cole to see the train exhibit because Cole is obsessed with trains!


We had a fun night. Cole loved the deep fried oreos, the animals and the trains. Elise loved all the music, and did her crazy dancing the whole night :)
As always, the fair was a fun family adventure!

Can Cole get any funnier!? Tell him that cows have "accidents" all the time. That's why they don't get big boy underwear. :)
I would like to see Ellie dance. She is so dang cute!
Oh, and "tell Coleson to stop talking about trains" (Kenzie style).

You'd think the obesity rate is low because obviously they are throwing out all thier grease! Those pictures are great! We sure do miss you guys.
