Iowa

After loading up the car....

the boys and I headed out to Iowa. They were great travelers the whole way. Probably because I make them do this a lot. We only stopped twice for food, gas, and bathrooms and made it the whole way in 11 hours.

While in Iowa we got to spend some time with great people. 

We spent a morning with Great Grandpa Linden and Verdel.

They boys and Dad went to the Science Center with Grandma and Grandpa Weldon for the afternoon while Patrick napped. Luckily, Dad sent me photos. They looked like they were having fun.

We also made it over for a family wedding. It was a great party.

This guy spent the entire night on the dance floor. He is a dancing fool.

The boys also had a blast at Grandma and Grandpa Strutt's. 

They got to climb the ladder...

(Even the little guy. He is fearless)

...they played games....

....and had Grandpa read stories (which entails Grandpa making up a story and Daniel correcting him to make it the way he wants it).

Josh also found some friends in the neighborhood. He was out playing with a couple boys from the surrounding houses almost every day. He loved it.

Now, off to our next adventure.
