More farm country

Other fun parts of our Iowa trip! On the way their (somewhere in Illinois) we saw windmills....pretty cool I thought. Then as we make our last turn to get to Clarion, we see hundreds of them! On Rt. 69 in Iowa, close to Clarion! I jokingly told the boys they should count them, they laughed at me. But Daddy bieng the Daddy he is, he started....he lost count at around 115! We also saw a place where they were storing the parts to the windmills and we saw a few propellers on the bask of semi's. I told the boys "look, a giant propeller" to which Daddy (again being the Daddy he is) said, "No it's for the world's largest plastic fork." We got a picture of the kids standing near one....but turning pictures the right way still elludes me. lol


Since we left clarion earlier than we would have liked we opted to see the John Deere Pavillion in Moline. Noah was in love and crawled up onto the first tractor he could. They got in everyone and had a great time. Emily was happy to be out of her stroller and I just had to take the picture of her in the tractor tire. Again, seems like a tradition we missed out on by not going to the farm. Our next trip to Iowa can not go without a trip to the farm.
