We have made a visit to the Iowa State Fair a little bit of a tradition for our family. This year was Brody's third state fair visit and Cooper was a first-timer (of course)! We each have our favorite stops at the Iowa State Fair... I'd have to say the Little Hands on the Farm and Hoppy's Fresh Squeezed Lemonade are at the top of the list :-)
The first thing Brody checked out was John Deere lot... big surprise! He even scored a pretty sweet hat that make him look like a "John Deere."
The boys were sporting their 4-H t-shirts. 4-H has been a tradition for both Mom and Dad's family and we hope these two can continue it! Who knows, maybe they'll meet their best friend and love of their life at the county fair! That's what happens in the cattle barn... just ask Dad ;-)
Our Family!
This state fair trip was pretty special as Great Grandpa and Grandma Zieman's farm was recognized as a century farm this year! What an accomplishment. Great Grandpa is the fourth generation of Ziemans to own the land and we are looking forward to many more generations. We enjoyed the ceremony in the morning and spent some time hanging out with Mom's family. Here's Cooper with Grandma Z!
Little Hands on the Farm... always a big hit :-) It has been very exciting to see the way Brody interacts differently from year to year!
Planting crops with Dad!
Driving the tractor to go check the cattle.
Feeding his corn to the calves.
Headed back to the barn!
We checked out some other exhibits, too! This train was a big hit!
The animals in the DNR building were interesting too.
It was a long day for Brody but we saw all that we could and he was sleeping in his carseat in the truck before we even took off! Another good year at the Iowa State Fair!
