IA State Fair

We took a family trip to the Iowa State Fair for Farm Bureau's annual "Day at the Fair."   We did not get off of work until noon, so our trip hit right at nap-time.    I tried to get Ellie to take a nap in the car... she was too excited for the fair.   Needless to say, we lasted a couple hours and were headed home for some sleep.   Here are our adventures of the day:

Genevieve and I on the bus ride to the fairgrounds

Daddy and Ellie on the bus

Daddy and Ellie on the Giant Slide (they are the two in the yellow area on the top of the slide.

Ellie is not sure sure about the horse.

Ellie's 1st tattoo... a Hawkeye one, of course!

Neve taking a nap, while I am getting a yard stick.  We lost a couple in the fire, so we needed a replacement.  At the time I had not seen them for sale in the store, but I did see one at Jo Ann's the other day--- for $7!

Ellie and her cookie face after enjoying a few oven fresh cookies.

On our way home.  Ellie's favorite part of the fair", "Riding the bus!"

Sophia's favorite part of the fair is also the bus ride to and from. Every time we see a DART bus she gets excited!
