2011 Iowa State Fair

Haselhuhn Family at the great Iowa State Fair
The 4-H rabbit show was going on when we arrived a the fair. I showed rabbits at the State Fair when I was in 4-H, so we stopped in to see all the different breeds. Tyler liked the friendly ones who came over to twitch their noses at him and let him pet them.
One of Tyler's favorite stops is the Little Hands On The Farm area where they pick plastic vegies & fruit, get grain, collect wool, and drive tractors. Then they "sell" their items at market to get "money" to buy a treat on the way out.

Here is Tyler standing by the sign saying "You must be taller than 2 chickens to ride the tractor". He has his gas can ready to "fuel up" his tractor.
To show you how much he has grown in a year...
here is the same photo stop from the 2010 State Fair.Here he is showing off his his basket of farm goods And over cookies, popsicles, and other treats...he chooses to spend his "money" from the farm sale on a chocolate milk - YUM!
This was Hannah's first Iowa State Fair experience - and she slept thru most of it!3 generations at the fair - my mom Janelle, myself, and Tyler in the Ag building
Playing in the garden outside the Ag Building
Lunch Break!!
Seeing friends at the 4-H BuildingMore fair treats
Ending the day with a run thru the giant sprinkler before it rained on us all the way back to the car. I asked Tyler to look at the camera, but each 2-second glance he gave me wasn't long enough for my camera to catch him. The water was more exciting to look at.
