The Iowa State Fair




Well yesterday was a fun and exciting day for me and Scott. We went to Des Monies for the State Fair. Rated the top fair in the country and I know why. It was so much fun. We walked around, ate a Fried Snickers, saw the biggest bull and biggest pig in the world and rode many rides. I was a total tourist. The weather was not all that bad. We did have to take some breaks inside but other than that we spent 5 nice hours at the fair. We also met up with out friends Jennie and Jim they were there visiting as well. After the fair we stopped by our friends house the Herricks who live in Urbandale and had dinner. We gave Addison her first birthday present early and I think she liked it.Which I hope she did considering we spent two hours in Toys R US trying to find the perfect gift. We will head back up to Urbandale on September 9th for her birthday party. Although on the way home we hit a nasty Thunderstorm it was a great day. I took many pictures. This was the first picture we took as soon as we got to the fair and this is me eating my Fried Snickers. It was delicious.
