The Iowa Barnstormers vs. Cole

Well, they weren't the Hawkeye's, but Cole made it to his first football game, arena football at that.  He loved the cheering and yelling though the popcorn was the biggest attraction of the night.

A visit from the South

The summer was full of fun trips and gatherings.  Uncle Tim, Aunt Lynda and Evan came up for a visit in July expecting to get out of the Texas heat.  The joke was on them as we had a week of 100 degree temperatures.

Nothing caps off a visit to Iowa like a visit to...

 

We ended their visit with a night at the ballpark.  While the Iowa Cubs lost, Cole and Evan made the most of it by singing "I like to move it, move it" at the top of their lungs.  Crowd chatter is crowd chatter, right?

Sailing the High Seas

The Okoboji Yacht Club had a 'mommy and me' day with sailboats, bubbles, face painting, and games.  Lance and Ann Avery made the day complete by braving the waters with a group of toddlers.
