Landon - Fair 2009

Logan - Fair 2009

Fair 2009

Today, after a great win by the Hawkeyes, Jeff and I decided to take the boys to the Clay County Fair in Spencer, Ia! Aside from getting rained on for a tiny bit, we had a wonderful time! First we looked at all of the awesome antique tractors, but the boys quickly tired of that because they weren't allowed to sit on them. Next, the boys wanted to see all of the animals, so we went to look at the cows, horses, sheep, pigs, and chickens in their barns. Landon loved the cows, and Logan's favorite were the chickens because they were making a lot of noise as we went through that barn, and they got to pet one of the chickens! Then we trekked over to the new tractors and spent about 3 hours there...just kidding, but it felt like it because the boys, especially Logan, thought they needed to climb each tractor and sit in every single one of them! After all of that hard work, it was off to supper at the Cattleman's Association for ribeye sandwiches (burgers and fries for the boys)...YUM! Jeff and I attempted to walk through some of the building, but we didn't get to see much since the boys were ready to go ride some rides. Logan actually chickened out on most of the rides, but Landon was rearin' and ready to go! We ended our night with strawberry smoothies and mini-donuts, as if we needed more calories to take home with us! I hope to get back to the fair one of these days before it is over WITHOUT the boys so I can actually look at some of the booths (and of course eat some more of that fattening food)!
