Iowa State Fair

We took a very last minute and quick trip up to Des Moines with Nana for the Iowa State Fair and had a great time. What a perfect way to end the summer before school starts next week. 

We started the night out with cheese dip from a mexican restaurant across the hotel. 

After dinner we checked out the hotel pool and they had so much fun swimming with Nana. 

Rooms with two beds were sold out so we camped out in a king size bed! Hudson ate some grapes before bed and Jack ate my favorite dark chocolate almonds that Nana brought me and called them "Nana's new grapes!". Guess I will have to start sharing those amazing things. 

Jack rode his first horse and Nana didn't mind helping him at all! 

Feeding animals at the petting zoo. Jack and Nana were in love with the animals. Hudson and I mostly watched:). 

We met Clifford and Jack gave him a huge hug. 

Jack loved all of the animals. 

Hudson saw this wall storage unit that would hold cars and thought it was pretty cool and wanted me to take a picture of it so Daddy could make one. Ha. 

Petting a brand new baby cow. 

Being little helpers on the farm in the children's area where they could pretend they were farmers. They got rewarded at the end and thought it was pretty cool to buy an orange drink at the end with the money they had "earned" on the farm. 

Jack fell asleep in the stroller in the afternoon and Hudson and I got to ride some rides. He had waited all day to do the rides. Such a fun trip!
