Iowa State Fair

We went to the Iowa State Fair again this year!  It was a rather significant trip, since we have Isabelle now - because exactly 1 year ago we found out we were pregnant with Isabelle!  It was kind of fun to realize it was already a year ago and how much has changed since then. 
 
Nana and Papa rented a hotel room and Aunt Amber was the hero by taking the Amelia and Olivia swimming!
 Aunt Amber lifting Amelia up
 What a good Aunt!
 Amelia and Olivia ran all over this patio area having so much fun!
 Coming over to say hello - just for a minute though
 Uncle James, Olivia and Isabelle

I love this picture!  Hand in Hand!
 
The State Fair!
Aunt Amber helping Amelia and Olivia planting their seeds.
The girls really enjoyed the digging.
Amelia holding her basket - we couldn't get her to wear the apron, so maybe next year.
"Ooooo"
Olivia and her basket
The lines were really long!  So we chased the girls around a lot.
Olivia and Amelia
We finally got smart and skipped ahead in line to miss the part that was causing the long line.
Olivia peeking in to the next section.

Olivia and Amelia eating their snack!  This is when Amelia realized she loves Cheetos!  Yes, that will do her grandpa's heart good!   I have to say we didn't make it very far this year in the fair. Maybe next year!
Mommy, Aunt Jenna and Aunt Amber with hawkeyes on their foreheads - 2nd year in a row!
Nana and Papa also came and watched Isabelle for us!  What a blessing that was!  It was the first time I have been away from Isabelle for that long!  They drove down to the fair and picked me up so I could feed Isabelle and then whisked her away again so I could go back into the fair.  Thank you so much you guys!
