Iowa Trip







We had a great trip to Iowa. We were able to fit a lot of visiting into our short visit. We started by staying with the Eggerts in Ames. They were kind enough to allow our growing family a place to stay. We met up with a lot of John's college friends at the house that night for a backyard BBQ. Quite a change from the times I had visited previously. We had a great time visiting. The kids got along great and Jarrett had a chance to blow off some steam after a long day of travelling! Off to the hotel the next day. Jarrett and Dawson attended their first wedding rehearsal dinner. Dawson slept through the whole things while Jarrett flirted with everyone, especially the bride (he seems to have a thing for blondes!). The next day we dropped him at his cousins house. I was worried he might be alarmed by the new people and new places, but I need not have been concerned. It was as if I wasn't there at all! Foster and Ralston did a great job entertaining him, but Foster was really enamored of Dawson! The next day we were able to spend some quality time with Cory and Lindy and then off to the farm. Jarret had a great time there as well. More kids and more great toys! We had a great time seeing family, visiting the "cabin" and hanging out by the bonfire. Wish we lived closer. I'm sure Jarrett (and Dawson eventually!) would have a great time exploring the farm! Thanks to all that opened their homes to us.
