Nothing Compares to the Iowa State Fair

She's "mooing" in this picture.

 Our little family ventured out to the Iowa State Fair this morning.  It was surprisingly chilly but I will take a little chilly over nineties any day! We parked and went straight to the Animal Learning Center.  We knew seeing the baby animals would be a big hit with our daughter Lydia and it was.  Then we watched a Bengals Tiger Show right outside the Center.  That was really cool and it wasn't part of our plan we just happened to be at the right place at the right time. 
Lydia kept talking about seeing the butterflies so we went to the butterfly tent.  She screamed and cried because the flying little creatures scared her.  But we sat her down with Daddy and brought them to her, she liked that.
We continued on eating our way through the fair and checked out some of the livestock barns.  Lucky us there were a couple of calves to pet and feed!
Even though we only saw maybe ten percent of  what The Iowa State Fair has to offer it once again did not disappoint, its one of my favorite things to do all year!

Lots of tears when we had to move on.
