Few More Fair Photos!

                             This was Andy's first year at the Iowa State Fair and loved this sign!

  The fair had a really cute area called "Little Hands"  where the kiddos had an opportunity to see what it would be like to work on a farm.  When you entered each child was given an apron and a basket and continued on to several stations.  At the end each child was given a fake dollar bill where they went to the general store to pick out an item for their hard work.  Drew and Claire chose a Popsicle!

                                   Filling the baskets full of grain for the farm animals

                                                                    Picking up eggs

 They then had to jump on little tractors with their buckets in the back, pick up hay, and feed the cows

                                                                  Milking the cows

   One of the many foods at the fair is a GIANT turkey leg!  Drew and Claire had to try a few bites off of Brian's!

 And of course there was a large selection of tractors!  The cost on one of these bad boys is INSANE!  Many of them were as high as $500,000!!!  The kiddos loved climbing inside them and "driving."
