Fair Time


Well it was that time of year again - we could drive through town and smell the grease frying- Iowa State Fair! We have to admit that we really like eating all that food on a stick and this year Marie got to join in. Things are so busy with school starting so we decided to just do an evening at the fair.

We started at the petting zoo where Marie was very friendly to the goats.


One bottle of hand sanitizer later, we stopped for our first entree' of cheese curds - delicious.

Next we went to the animal barns where we saw cows, ducks, sheep and horses. Marie was pretty quiet during this as she was taking it all in. While we were petting a lamb, it started to "baa" at her. She got so excited and began "baaing" back and attempted to give it a kiss.
So how do we top the conversation with the lamb? A blooming onion and cotton candy of course! Marie wasn't as crazy about the onion as Dad was, but she definitely enjoyed the sugary goodness of the cotton candy. Who wouldn't?
While we were eating we decided to sit on a park bench and let Marie run around. A nice older couple was watching Marie and enjoying her silliness. The husband made a comment, we made a comment, and the wife smiled showing us her 1 tooth! That was definitely a fair experience!

It was short and sweet but definitely a successful evening at the fair.
See you next year cheese curds and cotton candy!
