Iowa State Fair

Jim, Deb and Jeff took Molly, Nora and I with them to the state fair on Tuesday. We took the vacation van so we would all have room. We had a great time looking at all the animals, the butter cow, going to Bob the Builder and eating great fair food. We even saw a 1,300 pound pig..that would only happen in Iowa!

Nora had a blast riding the ponies, and the camel. I took her once on the camel (that cost $5) and afterwards she said, "One more time would be fine." I told her no, and she said, "Grandma can take me." Sure enough...she rode again. Here is Grandma with Nora on the camel.Nora had fun doing the little helpers on the farm. She went through the whole farm doing lots of various activities.

The excitement for the day was on the trip home when both Molly and Nora got sick and threw up in the van. Too much fair food is not good! Deb said we should go again next year. I don't know if she is serious after the trip home.
