The Iowa State Fair

The talk of the town is all about the Iowa State Fair. We just had to go!

However, at the end of the day we all agree that it is not as good as the Minnesota State Fair :)

They say that there was about 100,000 people at the fair that day.
Can you believe that I wasn't allowed to ride on here?!?! Oh well, we got some great pics of George and mom checking out the fair from above!George and Mom got pork on a stick first thing.

I had never had pineapple on a stick before. It was delicious, but I couldn't eat more than one a year b/c it was very sweet!George and Tim cooled down with a chocolate shake!This girl was on the news every night b/c she went to the fair every day to eat 1 of each thing that comes on a stick. I believe that there were over 60 things that came on a stick at the fair. She actually said that she lost 3 lbs too! Who would have ever guessed!?!? It must have been all the walking around :)

Too cute!

You just have to stop at all of the barns to see the animals. I couldn't get over the 3,000+ lb bull! Crazy.

The weather was in the upper 70's.... nice and cool! We had a great time. Wish we could head up to the Minnesota State Fair next week, but someone has to study... :) Hopefully next year!
