CAMPING ADVENTURES!

What an extremely busy and super fun weekend!! It was our 5th annual trip to Des Moines to take in the Iowa State Fair. This year my mom and dad and siblings were able to join us!

On Friday, Aaron and I took the kids to the State Capitol. Unbelievably beautiful!

We camped at our favorite little county campground in Pleasant Hill.
An untold number of marshmallows were eaten. :)

Bree was extremely pleased with her double sided marshmallow stick creation.

Lucy(Michelle's best friend), my sister Michelle, and my brother Wyatt. We were playing poker. Note the candy substituted for poker chips.

Someone likes watermelon!

We spent Saturday at Living History Farms.

Aaron learning how to operating a printing press.

Michelle and Elle walking the boardwalk in the town of 1875

Admiring the ducks at the pioneer homestead farm.

And finally, the Iowa State Fair on Sunday!

  2. That looks like tons of fun I haven't been to the State fair for years. If you get the hankering for Valley Fair or the mall or whatever in MN you are alway welcome :)
