Today, MFH (My Favorite Husband), #1 Son and I went to the Iowa State Fair.

It was opening day.  We were there when they opened the gates!

To bring people into the Fair, today was lottery day.  At a few of the gates to the Fairgrounds, they gave out free lottery vouchers until supplies ran out.  I got one.  Haven’t taken it to a vendor yet to see if it is a winner.

We have been looking forward to going to the Fair since January.  We planned out our vacation to Iowa around the Fair.  It has been two years since we have been back and were really excited about going back.

So, what did we do?

Well, if you have me on your FL on FB, you know exactly what we did!  MFH accuses me of be a social media butterfly and today, I was in fine form.  Pics and posts until the battery died on my phone.

So, here’s the list of what I did.

Ate!!!  A pork chop on a stick, a deep fried snickers bar and MFH and I shared a lamb cheeseburger.  Yum!

Walked!!!  My fitbit says I walked 20,335 steps.  That is 8 miles on. the. button.

Got a participant ribbon in the Women’s Chicken Calling Contest.

Did the Zip Line.  (that was fun!)

Milked a Cow.

Took pics of the Biggest Boar~1,273 lbs. and the biggest Bull ~3,012 lbs.

Watched hog judging (and that is actually very interesting and entertaining!).

Watched chicken judging.  That was entertaining, too.  The 4H kids with chickens to be judged, hauled them to the judging area in grocery store buggies!  You had to be on your toes or else a 4H kid would mow you over with a buggie full of hens.

We were there 12 hours and now I am ready for bed.

As we were on our way home, MFH asked me, “So, what was the most interesting/different person you saw.”

I laughed!!!  Oh, boy!  There were a lot of them!!!  I told him that and I had no idea where to begin.

What a fun day!!!
