State Fair 2008

Taffy picking vegetables with Chloe's help.

Chloe's helping her drive the tractor.

Chloe, Piper and Teagan found the water spray zone.  They got SOAKED!!

Today, I took the girls to the Fair.  I, generally, LOVE the fair.  Today, I had the whiniest kids.  "Its to hot.  I'm itchy."  HELLO it's 82 degrees outside.  It's NOT too hot!!  Anyway, we did the kids farm twice--they LOVE that!!  We also did the GIANT slide.  Teagan, did it 3 times: once with Chloe, once with me and once alone.  Chloe did it once and decided she doesn't like heights--just today.  Piper doesn't like heights either and wouldn't even consider doing it.  We also did Ye Ol' Mill, as always.  Other then that we just walked around and looked at whatever , watched the talent show, and ate and ate and ate.  The cheese curds were FABULOUS as always!!  That's my only "must have".  Other then that, we just got the normal food, nachos, root beer float, cotton candy, etc.  My stomach hurt by the time I got home, that's for sure!!  I offered to pick Shane up from work on my way to the fair so he could go but he declined.  I don't know why he doesn't like the fair.  It's an Iowa Tradition!!  Enough for now, I need a nap!  -AS

PS  On the way home, we stopped by the school to see if the class lists were posted and we found out who Chloe and Teagan have for teachers.  Teagan wanted to go in and meet her teacher right now.  She says she's scared to go to kindergarten.  Chloe has a new teacher that we don't know--AGAIN!  I'm kind of tired of "breaking in" new teachers.  I hope she atleast has previous experience!!  Teagan's teacher has been around here for 6 years and a teacher for 14 years so I'm happy about that.
