Fayette County Fair

Tonight we traveled to West Union for the Fayette County Fair. Austin was in and around the GOP booth talking to lots of people while I followed Emily all over the fairgrounds. We forgot the stroller at home, so she had free range. Whew! She loved looking at all the animals, but kept running back to the pigs. :op Unfortunately, she got pig manure on the bottom of her shoes and they may be declared a total loss (after the Bremer County Fair next week).

There was a big free meal sponsored by all the main livestock groups. Emily's favorite part was the ice cream. :o) She is obsessed with ice cream lately and asks for it all the time--including at breakfast. Emily's other very favorite part of the fair was the red balloon she got from a church booth. It served as great entertainment for the evening. I had to tie it to a little wooden bug car toy from her bag so it wouldn't fly away. She got upset when she saw someone else let go of their balloon let alone lose her own. Heaven help us if she did!
