Ok...that will make no sense to you whatsoever if you've never seen the musical "State Fair." If you haven't, rent it. It's a classic! All about the Iowa State Fair...which is where we went on Friday! Hooray!
If you've never been, GO! It's going on right now! You can get info about it here. We go every year as a family. Boys got added in to our yearly adventure slowly. If you can't wander the Iowa State Fair with our family...you aren't meant to BE in our family. :)
Things to love about the Iowa State Fair:
1. There is a cow made of butter. It's called the butter cow. No lie! (My apologies to the random strangers in this picture.)
2. There are cows made of...well, not butter.
4. You can find cars you owned in your younger days. Isn't that right Dad?
5. You can see famous politicians. Then you can brag to your wife's parents about what a great picture you got of the famous policitian.
6. You can nap anywhere you'd like.
7. You can have a fabulous time with your whole family.
Seriously, the Iowa State Fair is the highlight of my whole summer! If you haven't been, you simply MUST go. Be sure to wear great walking shoes...or bring your stroller to rest your weary feet after a day of fair fun. :)
Mitch and I went on saturday and had a great day! I see the same stuff every year, but for some reason just can't get enough. I had fried pickles and a steak kabob. there is something about the fair that draws you in. It's nice you have a family tradition! Our family tradition is riding the Ye Old Mill together. My brother and I took our significant others on the romantic boat ride but the boys sat on the same side and made it lean the entire time:( Love your blog! Melissa
ReplyDeleteAww! I miss the Iowa State Fair! Used to go with my parents all the time when we lived in NW Iowa, but since moving to Colorado I haven't been able to get back for it! It really is an awesome time!
