Anyone Live in Iowa?

I have to go to Iowa, Des Moines to be exact. August 12th -15th for work. What is there to do?

[Davematthews16]

Hmmm....Gaze upon corn fields, cow tip, gaze upon more corn fields.....hehe...My mom is from Iowa and our family has been back there atleast 100 times. She's from a very small town near Des Moines where there's NOTHING to do. I'm sure they have bowling, bars, clubs and stuff like that in Des Moines for you to do. Have fun!

Cow tiping, I havent done that yet. Hmm what other kind of trouble can I get into?!?!

[Maura]

LOL - fyi, cow tipping is illegal! my uncle once got arrested in college for doing it LMAO

[Davematthews16]

Honestly, I have never been cow tipping, (I was just being stereotypical) Sorry lol....So, do they actually push over a cow I'm curious now lol

[Maura]

yes people who go cow tipping actually attempt to push the cow over - because cows sometimes fall asleep standing up, so they have no sense of balance when you go to push them over, but it is actually really cruel because you can seriously hurt the cow...

Ok so Im not going to Iowa to go cow tiping. I would never do that, plus I kinda live in a cow town myslef. So anyways.....apparently no one lives in Iowa. So what the hell am I goin go to do with myslef?

betsy lives in iowa, but she's not on the forum all that much lately... my FI got one of his bachelors degrees in iowa and when we went there for a reunion last summer literally the only thing to do was go to a bar or go bowling... so my advice is to bring your laptop and settle in on BDW hhahaha

[Davematthews16]

Sorry about the whole cow tipping thing, I was TOTALLY KIDDING and being sarcastic. That's just my personality...I am basically saying that there isn't a whole hell of a lot to do in Iowa. I'm sure though in Des Moines there are bars, movie theatres, and bowling atleast. Even the tiny town my mom's from has a bowling alley. You might have to get creative! Just enjoy the warm nights, and catch some lightning bugs or something.

I'm from Iowa. It can be kind of fun in the summer. See if you can find a state fair. There will be dancing and rides and its always warm. There are fireflies at night too!
