August in Iowa means State Fair!!

For the past three years, we have gone to the state fair.  For the last three years we have told ourselves, "This trip should cover the next three years."  This year, however, Olivia is really interested in the things around her.  She is able to do alot of the activities that the fair has to offer. 


The first stop was The Little Hands on the Farm.  The kids were to gather vegetables, seed corn, soybeans and etc. at different stations.  Then they "fed" cows, rode tractors, and sold their vegetables at the farmer's market.  She then earned money to buy something at the general store.  It was cute, don't know if she got the idea, but it was cute.

We then saw the baby animals in the nursery.  She would say, "Aww..cute." at all the baby animals.  They were all puppies too.  I guess we need to hit the books on farm animals.  Walking through the barns she also got to pet a cow and feed the goats.  She takes such delight in everything,  it was so much fun.

We then hit the area of the fair everyone likes....the food. The smells of all the food made it a hard choice for a snack.  She chose her favorite~~ mini doughnuts and lemonade.  

The last thing we did was walk through the Varied Industries building.  She got to see one of her favorite characters in her books.  Clifford. 

She had alot of fun.  I guess we will consider going back next year!
