Iowa State Fair 2009

The knuckleheads and I went to the fair

with my mom and dad. Paul couldn't go

because he had to work, stupid job!

My cousin David and his son Theo (just turned 2)

posing in the pig barn.

Sara and Amanda on the spinning roller coaster.David and the boys.

Theo watching his dad and the

knuckleheads ride the roller coaster.

He was very impressed! He is

such a good boy he just sat and

talked to us the whole time we were

waiting, his speech is great.

Our belongings in the wagon were

very well protected!

The highlight of the fair was watching Theo

hunt. He got a cork gun and the cork was

attached to a string. He walked through

all of the animal barns and shot every animal!

He is great at shooting caged animals!

This is the strange goose guy. His geese were very

well dressed and followed him all over the fair.




The main street of the fair.

I think there was at least 14 million people

there that day.



This cute pig reminded us of someone we know.




They sit and sleep the same way!

Josh and the kids stayed at mom's house

for the weekend to take care of Sadie.

Josh said that her and the kids loved each

other and that the children had been licked clean.



And of course the highlight of the Iowa State Fair!


Alex and David and Sara and Amanda

before being flung into space.




Eric decided to go rock climbing instead.

He is smarter that the others!



When we got home Theo showed Grandma and

Grandpa (my Aunt Kim and Uncle Rick)

how great his gun works. He is a nice guy

though, every time he shot grandpa he kissed his

owie.

Rick and Kim didn't fill their pool this summer

because it has been so cool. Now it is even better

though because it is full of frogs! Eric had a great

time catching and releasing frogs. Of course

Theo thought everything that Erk (we tried to tell

him that it is pronounced ersix but he went with

erk) did was great!



I have videos I will post tomorrow.
