Corn, corn and more corn

Day 2 staying with our friends, Janet and Peter. Today was a shopping-free day. It was time to see some of the delights of Story County.
Setting off for our boat ride and a barbecue on the Great Creek.
Having a nice time sun bathing and soaking up the rays.
Happy family munching on yummy homemade guacamole and chips.
CORN !
When we arrived back home, we experienced Smores for th first time.

The next day, we managed to squeeze in a little retail therapy before the IOWA State Fair.
Just getting started. Which stick shall I start with?

We had a close up look at some great animals.



Had to be done.
Then James and I were interviewed by Ed Wilson, chief meteorologist at who.tv. It was exciting and nerve-racking at the same time. Ed and his camera man were really friendly.


It was a really great day and we have really enjoyed our time in Iowa.
