We were ambitious and drove the 2 hours to the Iowa State Fair with Tori and James (of course we had to stop by Costco while we were there). We all had a great time. It wasn't near as hot as it usually is in August so it was a lot more pleasant walking around. Every year it seems like the vendors at the fair try to out do each other by creating the craziest (and incredibly fattening) food. Last year it was the deep-fried oreos and snickers bars (we tried the deep-fried snickers, not too bad). This year we heard the craze was chocolate-covered bacon, though when we were there we couldn't find some to try (our hearts and blood vessels are thankful).
Above is a picture of Tori and John in a large building where they have all kinds of baby animals. You can even watch baby chicks hatching from eggs. Tori loved all the little babies and I thought the baby ostriches were really cute (pictured below).
Below are a few pictures of our little baby animal at the fair.

They had a little place where kids could pretend to be a farmer (i.e. plant a seed, collect produce, ride a little John Deer, sell their produce and buy a little treat - a Popsicle - with their pretend money). Tori thought this was great, especially the Popsicle part.
Just like at the county fair, the rides were her favorite thing.
She even remembered riding the strawberries from past years and if you asked her what her favorite part about the fair was she would say riding the strawberries with dad.
I thought the picture of all the kids on the little train was quite funny. It's a train full of some very tired kids.
