We did okay but Dad was glad the cleaning lady came Friday and that night we both worked hard to tidy up the place. Here I am working on the back door ...
... and watering the plants. 
Saturday morning Uncle Chris, Katie and Grandma Maggy came over. We piled into Dad's car and headed off to the Iowa State Fair for a few hours.
Our first stop was the show arena to watch some of the dairy cattle being judged. I kept reminding everyone what we were seeing "COW!" "COW!" "COW!" but they seemed to already understand that.
The next stop was the butter cow. While Grandma got ready for her band concert Uncle Chris, Katie, Dad and I waited in line to see this national treasure. (They were really impressed.)
While Uncle Chris and Katie were at Grandma's concert I took Dad to see some tractors. Here I am in a very nice Case IH Magnum 335 with optional red leather "luxury" seat. (Papa, you need one of these in your next tractor ... it was comfy!)
After giving the cab a thorough examination I checked out the wheels and tires. Everything looked good.
To be fair I did go check out some John Deere equipment too ... this tractor would be great for a "hobby" farmer, but that just isn't me.
Mom got home before I woke up from my nap and I was REALLY glad to see her! Here I am with Dad showing her my Play-Doh ...
... and modeling the AC shirt Grandma and Grandpa got me.
I also got to model the big boy school backpack that came in the mail! I'll use this when I go to school as a butterfly in a few days!
Mom seemed to be really glad to be home but got really serious when we answered the question ... "So, what did you boys do while I was gone?".

I slept on the way home them wanted lunch. Dad was very nice and made me a PB&J which I got to eat on the couch since Mama wasn't home yet.
