Weekend wrap up (Nothing Compares to the Iowa State Fair) 8.20.15-8.23.15

Our weekend began on Thursday when we headed to the Iowa State Fair as a family. We weren't sure how long we'd make it since our kids are small, but we made it 6 1/2 hours! As you can see from the photos, we had a fabulous day with beautiful weather.

On the way to the fair, we dressed the kids in warm clothes because it was a bit chilly that morning. 

Super thrilled to be going to the fair.

Wondering where we are taking him again.

Weekend Wrap Up (August 15-17)

This past weekend was extremely busy and it was spent with family. It started early for Dave and the kids as daycare was closed on Friday.  Since I was spending the day at the Iowa State Fair for Iowa Corn Day, Dave was on kid duty and decided to invite his parents up for the day to spend some time  at the fair.  Unfortunately, the day was a little rainy, so there is no better way to spend a rainy day at the fair than with an ice cream break!

As usual, only one child is smiling.  Little C is sure enjoying her ice cream though!

Between R-man's nap time and the rain, they all heading home around lunch time so R-man and Grandpa could get their nap in.  Despite the rain, they all had a great day and the kids, as always, loved getting spoiled by Grandma and Grandpa!

Weekend Wrap Up (August 8-10)

This past weekend was awesome and we spent a lot of quality time as family. On Friday, Dave and I rode to work together and it worked out well because we picked up the kids on our way home from work. It had been a really long week so we decided to go out to eat. We've learned that going to eat early works really well with the kids because it's well before their bed time. After we were finished eating, I thought we should head to Cherry Berry in Ankeny to have dessert. Both kids loved it and R-man couldn't seem to get enough.

The kids enjoying Cherry Berry. R-man loved it!
