U GOTTA LOVE IT!!!!

Ok, after a lot of copying and pasting I think I have my blog back. Lets give it a try.



So the fair is finally over and I've begun my recovering process. My body isn't hurting anymore. We were there 10 out of 11 days. I kept saying that I wasn't going every day and I didn't. I took a few pictures while I was there that I thought I would share with all of you. When you think of the Iowa State Fair what automatically comes to mind?
1. Butter!
Here is the 2008 ButterCow

The face looks a lot more like a dog than a cow but look at the veins on the, umm, utter thing. I don't know what its called. Milksac? ewww.

Also, Everyones favorite olympic gymnist was honored in butter
The lovely Butter Shawn Johnson ::rolls eyes::

I'm so sick of Shawn Johnson and then there she is in all of her 4 foot glory. First of all, it looks nothing like her. It just looks like a girl. Second of all, I think it's strange that she is facing sideways and not forward. Third, she has weird kneecaps.
What else do we think of?

2. Animals. I love taking weird pictures of animals.
Here is the biggest bull. I always feel bad when I go look at the biggest animals. They are all big and tied up. they can't move. They are just there like some circus side show for people to come and gawk at the size of their balls. That's really the only reason people go to look at them and if you say its not then you are a liar.



The Big Boar

That's not a butt.

This is a goat with no ears. Very strange.


Unicorns
Well when they announced these animals they called them unicorns. Clearly there is no horn on their heads. I was slightly disappointed. Later in the evening Jenny and I made our way into the horse barn where I could ask a Farm guy where the unicorns were. He didn't even look at me like I was crazy. He explained it was the way they hook them up with one horse in front and 2 in back. You learn something new everyday. Don't forget to notice the poop in the foreground. There will be more poop later. I promise.


Alpacas. They creep me the eff out. I'm not even kidding.


I love pigs. Little pigs. Medium pigs. Big pigs. I love them all.



2a. Baby Animals
so cute


6 hours old


Newly hatched chick



3. POOP





2 Farm girls I'm really not sure why I put this under the poop heading.


4. Food Award winning veggies


The Iowa State Fair set a world record for the largest group of people chomping on a corn dog at the same time. I'm not even lying. Look it up. I had to take a picture of 2 corndogs. One for my dad and one for Shelley. They didn't get to eat them though. Zeth and Shannon ate them.


Jenny and her award winning cabbage. Ok, so she didn't actually grow it but she's holding the ribbon and possession is 9/10ths of the law, right?


Yuck. Don't eat these things. My philosophy is if it's not broke don't fix it. There is nothing wrong with normal oreos. There is no reason to deep fry them. Icky.



5. Other randomness This woman was a big ray of sunshine. I don't know her that's why I didn't get a picture of her face. What I didn't get in this picture was her entire outfit. That was an entire yellow dress that came down past her knees. Then to top off the entire outfit were a pair of matching yellow crocs.


This was pretty much Jenny's favorite part of the fair. I've gotten a picture messege of this guy every day since the fair has ended. She misses him so much. He wants to put HIS pork on her plate. It never gets old.


The pretty lights of the double ferris wheel.


This is what her life has been reduced to. Eating a stale pretzel and cheese out of a dixie cup watching stupid people trapse through the mud.


The old school house.


Mullet

This womans face isn't really like that. I distorted it to protect her from all of you mullet lovers out there. I'd hate for her to be stalked by all of you that are envious of her glorious haircut. MULLETS: They're everywhere. That should probably be the state fair theme.[Photo] That took me like all day so that's all for now kids. Enjoy!
