We live in Iowa....land of pigs and corn aplenty so it makes sense that the State Fair in all its agricultural glory is a pretty big deal around here. We are talking a HUGE deal. You are pretty much considered a leper if you don't go (ok maybe not a leper but a loser for sure). Now with a fair based primarily on food and animals you don't have to twist my arm too hard. And since Jackson has an obsession with bunnies and recently with cows as well I knew he'd love it.
So we all headed to the fair on Thursday afternoon which was the first day it was not 90+ degrees with over 100 degree heat indexes. Even though it was only 80 degrees the humidity was still high and the sun was hot. Within a few minutes we were all sweating and poor Poppa was really sweating bless his heart. We ate some food on a stick (pork chop and chicken) and had a yummy funnel cake. I enjoyed 2 shaken lemonades which were YUMMY! We saw some adorable farm animals which Jackson just LOVED although I wish we could have had more hands on experience with them. We also saw Barack Obama at the fair (kinda weird I know).
Here are a few pics of Jackson in awe of the farm animal babies, eating a funnel cake and posing as a farmer. :) P.S. We used the monkey backpack/harness and it worked GREAT!
