Fun times at the State Fair!

While we were in Iowa in August we headed to the State Fair. Braxton is convinced that they have this fair for his birthday. It was August 23rd and it was 60 degrees outside. So we were in coats for most of the morning. We had a wonderful time and the highlight of the day was when Da and Mama Z arrived. Thanks Andrea for being a trooper and putting up with our chaos all week. We all had a good time being together.

Unloading, everyone here and accounted for. Strollers - check. Kids - check. We are good to go.
