Iowa State Fair

We had a great time at the Iowa State Fair on Friday. It was actually chilly that morning! It felt fabulous after the heat wave we've had this summer. It was fun digging out jeans for the kids to wear.  But it warmed right up as the day wore on.

This year there were decorated ice cream cones scattered around the fair, last year I believe it was decorated pigs. The kids really had fun pointing out the different ice cream cones they found.

We meet up with our good friend John Wulff after lunch along with his daughter Natasha an his parents. It was so much fun seeing him again! Natasha will be starting Kindergarten this year also.
