Thursday we headed to the Iowa State Fair to get a head start on Steve's birthday weekend celebration. First we picked up Chloe and met up with our friends Kent and Wendy. First order of business at the fair, go to the Pioneer building and see the life size Snow White made out of butter!
Steve on his first and last ride of the day with Tyler.
While Steve sat and recouped from his ride Chloe wanted to ride on the dizzy dragon. She was laughing for a while but by the end when she got off she said, "I got dizzy on that ride."
The carney worker made it look so easy. Climb the ladder and ring the bell twice. Tyler attempted 3 times...he did not ring the bell twice.
Make one free throw and win a stuffed animal. For 2 free throw shooters that should be pretty easy, right?!
While they shot free throws Chloe and I visited the petting zoo.
She did and excellent job holding her fingers straight and feeding the goats.
Chloe also rode the camel all by herself. She said she wasn't scared and liked riding her.
We had lots of good fair food. Ice cream, Gyros, Fried veggies(Chloe loved the mushrooms and greenbeans), smoothies, cotton candy and caramel corn. It was definitely fairlicious!
Since Steve and Tyler were one and done on the fair rides Chloe got to use up the rest of the tickets.
She loved going high in the sky on the dragon.
The water bumper boats seemed fun when watching from the side. When she got in one it was a different story.
New at the fair this year was a 28 foot high zipline. Tyler convinced Steve to do one more fair ride.
It's 10 o'clock at night, Tyler finally made a free throw to win this jamacian monkey and Steve rode 2 more rides than he wanted to. We ended the night watching the fireworks display. It was a fun fair night!
