State Fair 2012

Adam and I ventured to the Iowa State Fair yesterday with a deputy that Adam works with and his wife.  It was a gorgeous day to walk around the fair, 80 degrees/partly sunny/slight breeze.  It sure beats the weather the last time we went! (I was 8 months pregnant and it was 100 degrees) 

Our main purpose of going to the fair was because we had tickets to see Larry the Cable Guy.  Holy cow---he was HILARIOUS!  Within the first 5 minutes of the show I was laughing so hard that I had tears streaming down my face and my abs were sore!  If you ever get the chance to see him perform, I recommend going to his show!  It was great!

I had another purpose this year at the state fair - trying one of the new food items...a deep-fried pickle dawg!  It was basically a deep fried pickle roll...Heavenly!  It is definitely worth the $3.50!

The "Pickle Dawg" - this year you had the option of getting it deep fried ;)  Which of course I had to try!

Another new food that is supposed to be awesome is a Double Bacon Corndog - a hot dog wrapped in bacon and battered with bacon infused batter...yummy!  What is your favorite fair food?

June Visitors

{WARNING: This post is WAY overdue}

WAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY back in June we had our first (and only) visitors of the summer.  The Masters family made a trip up for Oklahoma to see us!  Adam and Kyle met in the Army back in 2004 and instantly became the best of friends.  Kyle married Heather in October 2009 and then they were blessed with a son, Duke, in March 2010.

We didn't do anything exciting while they visited - just enjoyed each others company and watched the kids play.  We grilled out, went golfing, made a few trips to the park, went roller skating, and had game night while enjoying adult beverages.

We wished we lived closer to the Masters' family, it is never any fun saying goodbye.  We agreed that an adults-only vacation is needed for the 4 of us!  Hopefully that is on the agenda for 2013.....
