Oh, the anticipation!!
For a place that was rated the second best place America goes to have fun, the Iowa State Fair--the 150th edition, no less--was a bit of a disappointment. Maybe they ranked it second because it smelled like number two?
Actually, even if it didn't live up to the hype, we had a good time. We couldn't leave Iowa without experiencing the state fair in all its Midwest wholesomeness, a quality only slightly diminished by a thirsty male water buffalo assaulting a male goat in the petting zoo. (You think I'm kidding. Ask Brook.)
Here are a few pictures from the day.

My personal favorite
The famous butter cow (and an astonished Simon)
Drew would only go on this admittedly rickety coaster after Olivia showed that it could be done safely
