Iowa State Fair

Yesterday afternoon we went to the Iowa State Fair, it isn't summer until you've been to the fair, right?!?! We had a great time and the although the weather was hot, it wasn't unbearable like it has been in years past!
Here is Stella at the DNR exhibit watching the ducks.
A childrens garden area, they loved the little camo jeep!

You can't go to the fair w/0 stopping by to see the Butter Cow! Porter was mad here b/c I had bumped his ear!

Enjoying an ice cream cone....we were smart and only got them ice cream once we were inside an air conditioned building!

I can't remember the exact name of this building but it is SO cool! It was full of animals giving birth or had just given birth. We saw actual chicks breaking out of their eggs, calves that were less than a day old, many pigs that were just to give birth. It was really neat!

Mike and Stella on the skyglider.

Porter checking out a skid loader (is that what that is called?!?!).

Stella playing in a tractor.

Porter playing at a little play area, this was shaped like a train, which he loved and it was a donated by the Clearfield Lions club.

We ended our day at the fair by enjoying listening to the Nadas!! Woot! Woot!
