Iowa Vacation Part One

We spent our time between school and summer camp traversing the state of Iowa. There was a lot of family fun time, adventures, and so much swimming!

First up was a visit with the grandparents. Alex played games with Grandpa, read books with Grandma, and had a great time sleeping and playing in Dave's old bedroom. He found lots of amazing treasures in there, including a Vikings football helmet that somehow made its way home with us. We made two trips to the amazing City water park (sadly, no pics to share from there) and visited the fantastic public library. 

Vikings fans!

Serious game playing

Climbing this tree is a must every visit

It took a while, but Alex decided to join in the joke contest.

School Pictures

Yesterday was the last day of the school year. So, I thought this would be a good time to catch up on some school pictures from the last few months.
