IOWA!!!!!!

The kids and I did our annual "tagalong" trip to Iowa with Matt. He has a meeting each year in July in Iowa, so we ride out with him (actually he rides with us!) and then he jumps in with someone from Wyffels and heads to his meeting while the kids and I bounce from place to place in Iowa.

This year we left on Sunday and headed to Parkersburg to be with the Prices.
Monday to Aunt Barb's and Uncle Charlie's.  Uncle Butch joined us for supper!
Tuesday to Aunt Jan's (Reiman Garden's Lego display and Hickory Park with Kristen)
Wednesday to Reinbeck (pool time with the Wyatt girls) and onto Swisher (Sara)
Thursday--Home!

Here are some pictures from the week.

Post baths.  They were TIRED!

We had a great time and it was nice to get home.  So good to catch up with so many and Alex really started to figure out that "this is where Mommy grew up"!  That means a lot to me!
