Summer Fun Continues

We also got to see the famous butter cow, pretty awesome! Some other highlights of the day were watching the 5 and under kids compete at mutton bustin, this was hilarious and impressive. We saw some horse shows. We all shared a good sample of fair food including a red velvet funnel cake, fried macaroni and cheese, ice cream cones, homemade peanut nut rolls, grandpa enjoyed a pork chop on a stick and of course lots of water, it was a warm day. Thanks for a fun day at the fair, we had a great time!

We had so much fun going to the fair. And even though we went once this year already, it's so huge that we did all new things including a bunch of stuff that we missed the first time. Above is a picture of Chloe sitting in the kids section at the Shenanigans Wild West Comedy show.













Chloe wanted to take some pictures and it ended up being so much fun and quite a funny series. Here are a lot of them:)

Chloe got some new fairy wings to go along with her crown and wanted to play dress up.


We had another great week. Some highlight of the week were going to the indoor bounce house on the rainy day we had last week. I went to the Parent/Teacher meeting for Chloe's fall preschool, that was a whole new experience for me. I've been prepping Chloe for school and getting her used to the idea but in the mean time I neglected to prepare myself for this new stage in our lives. It went great and we'll go to meet the teacher night next week, thankfully she will have one of her summer school teachers for the fall school! We also had some friends over for a play date. Then Thursday late afternoon gramma and grandpa Kneifl came over to visit and stay. We had a nice night at home and Uncle Rich even joined us for grilling out and playing. Friday gramma and grandpa treated Chloe and I to a fun day at the Iowa State Fair! And this past weekend was mostly a lot of work. Jason and Tim removed out 50 hedges, a lilac tree and a bunch of branches. This left Stephanie, the kids and I in charge of entertainment and meals:) Thanks to the guys for all their hard work! The yard look huge and is taking some getting used to but it looks good.
