...our state fair is the best state fair

Why in the world have I spent two nights at the Iowa State Fair...I'm insane, but I was taken without my consent both nights. Sneaky Pam bought me a ticket to the Maroon 5/ Train concert last night. It was a group of women with their 15yr old daughters. I had a riot with the girls. My first time at the fair with Jack was when I was 15. From my concert seat last night I could see the ferris wheel Jack and I rode, it brought back such innocent love. I'm not that familar with Train, so I was getting antsy..like falling asleep antsy. I found whatever candy Ben had in my purse and consumed it all, finally I told the group I would meet them at the exit. I heard Soul Sister from the outskirts of the concert, the only song I knew.

Tonight we went as a family. Who knew my gourmet step father liked the fair? We has cooked with some of the best chefs in New York and France...to see him eat a corn dog cracked me up. Herb is turning 75 and my sister Pam planned the whole event. He was given spending money and a bucket list of everything he had to do at the fair, including a temporary tattoo. With such a large group we adjourned earlier than planned. Since I haven't been feeling well, Ben and I went home..he has a big day tomorrow...he's getting baptized:)
