State Fair

It's time for the Iowa State Fair again! We took our annual family vacation to Des Moines this past weekend, continuing our ongoing quest to eat the most lard-laden, artery-blocking, lip-smacking good food "on a stick" imaginable. There's nothing quite like the smell of sweat, beer, and corn dogs at 10am. Oh, and there are the animals, and the rides, and the ridiculously cute little girls (Maggie, Catie, and their cousin) experiencing these things for the first (or second) time. Below are pictures from our trip. I hope to have time to write more about our adventures soon, but I'm still unpacking chocolate covered bacon... on a stick... from our suitcase.
