This week is the big county fair and one of the churches we are working with here in Iowa has a booth under the grandstand. They are doing Health Screenings – blood pressure, BMI, and real age calculator. On Monday my husband worked at the booth. It was Veteran’s appreciation day so he even got in for free!
Of course, the Princess and I took advantage of his work schedule and turned this outing into a field trip. I knew she would want to ride the amusement park rides, but I decided this was going to be educational – 4H and barnyard animals.
We only had 2 hours and 7 barns to go through. We walked through and talked to many animals – cow, pigs, horses, goats, sheep, chickens, turkeys, geese, and her absolute favorite: Grandpa’s Barn.
Baby Animals!
She was able to pet baby piglets, baby chicks (we even saw a chick in its egg almost hatched!), and a miniature pony. What fun we had!
And the roasted sweet corn? Corn in Iowa? Yummmmmy!
We really love the county fair. I am so thankful that we can do this – travel, homeschool and visit fun places. We are living a blessed life.
