Date night and State Fair (8/16 and 8/28 )

It was our 56th monthiversary and my sweetie surprised me by setting up a babysitter for Phoebe and taking me out. We dropped Pheebs off at the Michaelson's and went to Texas Roadhouse and Dairy Queen. Although it was under 2 hours it was SOO nice to just relax and be able to hang out with my best friend and love of my life with no other distractions. He's so much fun to be with and the conversation always flows easily.


That Sunday we went to the Iowa State Fair with the Michaelson's. We haven't been in a few years so we figured it was time to go again. We went on half price day and the received a free admission ticket so we only had to pay 5 bucks to get in instead of 20.

Again, I love the hustle and bustle of places like this. I love people watching!

And of course the food always smells amazing!!

Ashley had to get some mini donuts and a gyro.
She said the gyro was absolutely delicious!

Fried Potato Spins- delicious!

Phoebe was very enthusiastic with the fair!

The food truck serving mutton and all things sheep related right outside of the sheep barn.  You can be eating your sheep burger and listening to the sweet, sweet baaing of the sheep in the background.

We had a great time!
