August 12th - Little Hands on the Farm

Monday was Veteran's Day at the Iowa State Fair.  Since Chris & Zach are both members of the Sons of the American Legion, they got in free and were in the parade.  I took the day off too and we made a day of it.

When we first got there, we went through Little Hands on the Farm.  In case you have never been through it, it teaches kids the importance of agriculture and how it affects their daily lives in a fun and interactive way.  Children obtain a gathering basket and proceed along a path that includes a garden, grain bin, apple orchard, chicken coop, tractor shed, sheep barn, and dairy barn.  After gathering items along the way, they go the "market" and sell their goods.  Zach LOVES it and it doesn't hurt that it is sponsored by Pioneer!
