Big Bull, Butter, and Babies

So Joel and I went with a few friends from church to the Iowa State Fair this past weekend. Here is a photo tour of what we did at the fair. First up was going to see Freight Train, the Fair's largest boar.

On our way to the next stop, we saw fainting goats. Unfortunately for us they did not faint. However, Joel has looked up some Youtube videos on these and it is very funny!
We then proceeded to go and see the Fair's largest bull.
Look at the size of its head compared to the girl in the picture.

We saw this and decided to have Joel pose.
Then they made me pose by a very large statue of corn. We went around this circle and tried free food. So, here is Roger with an egg on a stick.
Here is the butter Shawn Johnson and the butter cow. Yes, both of these are completely sculpted out of butter. They always have a cow. Shawn Johnson is sculpted, because she is from West Des Moines and for any of you in the dark she is also now a gold medal winner at the Olympics on the balance beam. (Last year, they had a butter Harry Potter.)
Then it was on to the baby animals. Look at the cute goats!

Ohh...baby pigs are so cute.
Here is Mongo, he was born at the fair. He was so cute as well.
Joel and me welcoming everyone to the fair.
Joel and AM took the sky glider. Joel caught me in the middle of a pose. I didn't know when he was taking the actual picture. Yes, I am the one with my arms up.
We determined that these things aren't made for tall people, but we still had fun!

Did you know that going to the Iowa State Fair is in a book called A Thousand Things to do Before you Die? I guess Joel and I can cross that one off.

On another note, Hat Trick, our fish, is on a diet. He is really fat. Haha. I guess we got overzealous with his feeding. Mean, what can we say, he is the fish that lived.
