A Trip To The Fair

What a crazy but great experience this was. This fair was HUGE! We were there for five hours and only saw a super small portion of it! We started off by taking the bus from downtown Des Moines to the Fair. The kids LOVED this- as taking buses is a novelty for them... what am I saying, I thought it was cool! When we got to the fair we went straight to the food. It was delicious and fattening! We even tried a fried twinkie (we shared one for our whole family)! Michael is holding it in the picture below. It really wasn't that good, but definitely worth trying once ;). There was a TON of farming equipment, and this was Jacob's favorite part of course. The farm animals were really great too- We saw the state champion SUPER BULL (picture below is bad, but oh was it huge!) it weighed 3404 pounds! Also, check out that pumpkin (again poor pic), but it was over 1000 pounds! These people take their fairs seriously! We are going to do a little better planning so we see more, but we will definitely be going again next year!
