Iowa State Fair!

   This weeks kicks off the Iowa State Fair!  The Iowa State Fair is listed in the book 1000 Places to See Before You Die.  And it is said that over a million people will come to the fair from all over the world!  We have been visitors to the fair ever since I was little and it's sad to say that I have not been there for five years!  However today we made up for all of that lost time and we spent TWELVE hours there today!!!  And yes, the kiddos were with us for the twelve hours with NO NAPS and NOT ONE melt down!!!  We had an amazing day with so many fun memories!

  One of the many attractions there was a butterfly garden.  In this garden one paid $3.00 per person to have all of the butterflies one could imagine land on them and pick up!  The kiddos were in heaven, along with the adults!

                                Mimi and Claire having a great time!!
