About Us

Chris and I have been married 17 years and have three great boys. Seth is 14 and Kyle and Caleb are almost nine, and even though they are identical twins they are as different as night and day. Our family also includes cats, a chicken and a snake. It does get a little crazy here sometimes but isn't that what keeps life fun?!?

Six Weeks Later - Vacation Part II

Well we've been home from Iowa for six weeks now and I never got around to posting part II of our trip. Oh well, that's life I guess. I'll add some more pictures to our Missouri slideshow and call it good.

For the most part the rest of the trip was a lot of fun. It rained a lot! Almost everyday we were there we had rain and we got to see Aunt Phyllis's basement when the tornado sirens went off. The sirens went off twice that night so we got to see a lot of the basement.

We did so much while we were there. We went to the butterfly garden in Ames, The Living History Farm, Winterset, the zoo in Des Moines, took walks along the old railroad path and went to the movies a couple of times. In Iowa there is so much to do and so little time. We could easily spend all summer there, well at least the kids and I. I'm not too sure about Chris. He did have fun but I think he was pretty sick of the rain.

So that's our Iowa trip in a nutshell. As always we had a great time sightseeing and especially spending time with family. We can't wait until next year. The boys already have a list of things they want to do. I guess I better start planning now to fit it all in.
