We had a great time at the Iowa State Fair on Monday. It was a MUCH cooler day so we were able to be outside -- unlike last week! We enjoyed good food, rides, animals and just being together. It was weird being at the fair in the summer... this east coast girl is used to the fair in the fall.
One of Grace's favorite things was "Little Hands on the Farm". It is an adorable hand-on experience for the kids.
Grace planted a carrot seed and Hannah planted a green pepper seed....
We picked apples from the tree...
We collected eggs from the chickens....
Grace rode a John Deere Tractor...
Hannah fed the sheep while Grace collected its wool...
Grace milked the cow... (look at that pregnant belly!!!)
It was really fun to do the chores on the Farm. After collecting all of these things (and more) we headed to the pretend Farmers Market to sell them. They gave us a pretend dollar which the girls used to buy a treat at the Store. They each got Fruit Snacks! YUMMY!
We will be back to that year after year! It was a highlight for Grace!
