Always look for the sunshine and the rainbows...

Wordless Wednesday~ First day of First Grade!

State Fair Time!

This was a first for me- having two trips to the fair planned. Normally we go for a hot minute to grab a corn dog and quickly exit stage left.

The first Friday night of the fair- lots of fun! Until...it was time to find a ride home. But at least I have an entertaining story to tell about the cab line. Ha! Great night with girlfriends!

Fair selfie!

Cheese on a stick!

Family day! Half price Sunday and a girl with the Iowa Pork producers met us at the gate with free tickets!  Already this day was starting out perfect after finding an awesome parking spot for cheap!

We hit up the free Little Hands on the Farm and Rea quickly deemed it her favorite!

We had to stop and see Herky!

Loved the straw sculpture!

Even better were the cheese curds!

Reagan got brave and wanted to try the trampoline- she rocked it!

She loved the big slide (she is all the way to the left).  I wasn't brave enough to try it...maybe next year.

Face painting and park play in the Kidzone!

Our first time for Ye Olde Mill! It was a relaxing ride...

Time for the rides!

A random stranger gave us free ride tickets, free camel ride tickets and free sky glide tickets (which we paid it forward and passed those on) and it was so cool to see generosity at the fair.

Reagan's first Camel ride!

Game time!  Rea popped the balloon on her 2nd try- she gets her daddy's dart throwing skills!

Ice Sculptures and the butter cow!

Time for soft serve!

One last pic before heading out...

A great fair day!
