Part of a fun weekend!

My cousins, Margaret (and her hubby, Tim), and David came to town this weekend and today we all went to the Iowa State Fair! Margaret, Tim and David have never been to the Fair. (They didn't grow up in Iowa.) In the picture is: Mema, Uncle Charlie, David, Margaret and Tim.

We went through the Agriculture Building to see the butter cow (the 100th anniversary!). Margaret wanted her picture taken with it, and timed the twirling cow in an interesting position!

Marty and Izaac are still glad to see each other!

Sunday we had brunch first at Mema's (my mom's) in Des Moines, and then spaghetti and meatballs later in the day. YUM! Alex and Allison and Marty and Samantha came then, too.

This is a cake decorated by the folks at Hy-Vee in Pleasant Hill. Wow.
