Every year we take a trip to the state fair and leave wondering why we even bothered going. We aren't big fair-goers, but I guess living in DSM you kinda feel an obligation to go at least one of the days. I still find my self wondering what all the hype is about. I mean, pushing two strollers through an army of people just to catch a glimps of a cow or a pig is not really my idea of fun. I can drive down the highway and see the same thing from the comfort of my own car. Standing in line for ten minutes to spend $10 on a hotdog and a drink is not exactly appealing to me either. There are just way too many strange people that seem to come out of the woodwork and it freaks me out a bit to see all of these people in one place. That being said, Kayla had a great time! We aren't too fond of the Midway rides but we did let her go on the Ye Old Mill with me, and she went down the Big Slide with Daddy and he aslo took her on the ferris wheel. She absolutely loved that! She was grinning ear to ear. All and all we had a good time because the kids were good and had a good day. Can't complain there.
So, next year we will visit the fair again and we will continue to walk around searching for just what it is that people seem to love so much about the fair. And in the mean time, I know that kids will have fun so I guess that is all that matters:-)
