Ella experienced her first Iowa State Fair this week! She got to see her first butter cow. There was also a butter Neil Armstrong this year, but no butter Michael Jackson (the people thankfully voted no!). Ella got her picture taken with a giant chicken and an ostrich egg. She got a little warm in the Butter Cow building and let us know about it! She felt much better when I walked her through the misting fountain. She was a little shocked when the water first touched her skin, but she decided she liked it and began calming down. After this we headed to the air conditioned varied industries building where Ella met Herkey and got her very first tattoo! She would have gotten a Cy tattoo too for Grandma and Grandpa Jetter and Uncle Eric, but they were not giving them out this year, sorry guys! While we were there Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Eric, Mom, Dad, Great-Aunt Jann, Cousin Ben Chris and I consumed all kinds of food, most of which was on a stick. We did not find any formula on a stick for Ella, and Uncle Eric was disappointed that he did not find his beer on a stick this year. We did see quite a few animals, lots of baby animals too. After seeing the baby piglets everybody got their own set of piggy ears!
We were all very sad when we had to take Great-Aunt Jann and Cousin Ben back to the airport this weekend, we miss them a lot already! We had several more visitors at the house this week. Ella is always so sad to see them go. I think she doesn’t like a quiet house. I got her to fall asleep in her bouncy seat in the bathroom with the water and fan running!
School starts at the end of this week. I still can’t believe that I could be setting up my own classroom this week, glad I’m not, I would be a complete mess! Instead Ella and I helped Grandma set up her classroom. Ella got to meet all of Grandma’s teacher friends, but her favorite part was napping in the new bean bag chairs in the reading corner!
