Iowa State Fair - Day 2

On Thursday, we were able to walk around and enjoy the different sites of the state fair. We had bought a package of tickets for Dallas, Doug and I. The package included a ride on the sky glider, a ride on the giant slide, a pony or camel ride, one ride on the mid-way, admission to the model train or snake exhibit and $5 worth of fair food! It was well worth it, and Dallas had a blast.

As we were going through the cattle barn, Dallas caught this steer before it got out the door :) Dallas going down the giant slide with Dad

It was so fast, he lost his hat!

Dallas even got to take a trip with Momma

A trip to the fair wouldn't be complete without seeing the butter cow.

We had to take in all the antique tractors

and the new tractors

The view from the sky glider

Dallas on his very first mid-way ride...just call him the "king"

There is building at the fair that has various birthing animals (pigs, cattle, sheep, goats, ducks, chicks, ostrich, etc.) Dallas got this great looking hat after seeing the piglets

Dallas absolutely loved the pony ride!

There was a small petting zoo as well - apparently, the goat was tired of the feed and went for Dallas' hat instead

Dallas was a bit shocked when this big guy licked his hand

Until next time...
