August is a fun and busy time in Iowa! Last Saturday we went to the Hot Air Balloon Festival and yesterday we went to the Corn Festival, came home for 2 hours while Mason, Troy and I had a nap, (the girls just played) and then woke up and went to the Iowa State Fair for the rest of the day! It was all bittersweet thinking this was our third year of doing this stuff and thinking that it will also be the last year. We have loved Iowa.
There is nothing better than sweet corn from Iowa!

The corn festival is in a small town called Adel, about 20 minutes from us.
There was a parade to start of the corn festival.
Loving the parade, but mostly the candy.
Watching the parade and getting lots of candy!
After the parade they give out free corn, and you can eat as much as you want. Seriously, some people come with coolers and fill them up! We learned this year that they have 7 tons of corn ready to hand out to everyone!
A big yummy stick of cotton candy after eating lots of corn.
Having fun at the Fair!
We were exhausted by the end, but it was such a great day!

YUM! I remember going to Iowa for a summer to be a "detassler". I'm sure you have heard of it now. Nobody else in any other part of the country knows what it is.
How fun, we want to come! Maybe next year you can go to the good old east Idaho fair with us haha, hope your kids aren't too disappointed!
Save me a couple ears of that corn!!!
