It's Fair Time!


July August 2009, originally uploaded by James Hemsley.

All my siblings (except Marco...) came out to Iowa with their significant others and children and went to the Iowa State Fair. As always, it was a great time--very crowded, but not too hot and lots of good (fried) foods. The best was the fried twinkies--they were very very tasty!

Here are Norah and James in the sheep barn. Norah is both intrigued by and terrified of sheep; at the Johnson county fair, one bleated right in her ear, giving her quite a scare. This one was much nicer, and Norah got to pet him.

We also saw a sheep-shearing contest--those guys were FAST, and they got extra points if they kept the wool in one piece.
