Iowa State Fair 2014

 This poor guy is just having a rough go at it lately.  I am hoping he just needs less summer fun and more sleep, but if you think of it say a prayer for little Dallas and his sensitive emotions.  He was all over the place emotionaly at the fair.  He had been sitting in the stroller and even though we gave him time too he didn't participate in the Butter Cow photo op.  Anyone who has been to the fair before knows there is a line and it can be quite a little wait, and I felt like we couldn't hang out in the prime spot and let this five year old throw his fit about missing the picture.  He rebounded and decided to have one with the cow, he is trying to smile...
 This was my favorite part of the fair.  Noelle loved these little Brown swiss cows.  We talked to them for quite some time waiting for Emily and Robert to finish riding the sky lift.  This one in particular went in for a little smooch while we were taking a photo, I love the joy on her face.  Then we rounded the corner in the dairy barn and there were babies... brown swiss babes, we petted the babes for a while then she asked if we could take it home.
 One of my favorite spots


 The ISU booth in the Varied Industries building was pretty popular with the Kibbe's.  They had the names of 97,000 graduates living and working in Iowa listed.  It was fun to find our names.  The top picture has Lynne.
The booth also had all of the cool Big12 trophys won by the sports teams this year. 
 This was a new installation at the fair this year.  It was a lot bigger than I thought it was going to be.
 Emily loves riding
So does Noelle
