Iowa State Fair

When in Iowa, do as the Iowans do!

And, they do the Iowa State Fair.

My dad, Isabella, and I were joined by my two cousins,
Keelin and Anna, and my Aunt Fran. Only my dad had
ever been to the fair before, so we were all in for a treat!

We looked at the animals first, and were all amazed at
the size of the winners! We stopped at gawked at the
biggest Ram, Boar, and Bull! We also saw a few Belgian
horses and the little mini horses too. We learned what 4-H
stands for (head, heart, hands, health), and four of us
(excluding my dad and I) rode a school bus for the first time!

We each came with different goals. I wanted a funnel cake,
my cousins wanted to see a cow, my aunt wanted to stay
away from the rides, Isabella wanted to take it all in, and
my dad wanted to check out the Butter Cow. You heard me,
a life-sized cow made completely out of butter!

The weather was beautiful! We couldn't have asked for a
better day. Isabella had a wonderful time, and even got
her first tattoo, although Daddy made her take it off!
