Lemonade Stand

Hannah has been wanting to do a lemonade stand for awhile now. Well since July was SO hot, I knew the ice cubes would melt the second we took them outside. The weather for today was going to be cooler, 80's! So today was the day. Both girls enjoyed it. Hannah lasted the whole time though.  We live on a great street for traffic. 

Miniature Golf

We went mini golfing tonight. We all had a good time. Haydn quit playing half way through the game. Wes ended up beating me by 1 stroke. We both got holes in one too!!

Okoboji

We headed to Okoboji on Sunday along with Adam & family, Marcia and Geoff came down from MN.  We had a fun 3 days. We kept very busy while there. We went to Arnold's Park-twice, Barefoot Bar,boat ride/tubing, swam at the outdoor pool, indoor waterpark and lake multiple times! Shopped at the Emporium 2 or 3 times. Ate/drank at Tweeters & went on walks.  Geoff cooked supper for us last night and it was delicious!!  We had a lot of fun and created some great memories!!

AZ Cousins Visit IA

The girls and I headed to MA Thursday afternoon. Jennifer, Matt, Luke, Aunt Ann & Morgan drove up from AZ on Wed.  Scott, Amy, Garrett and Conner arrived on Thursday night. The weather was hot, very HUMID but we still had alot of fun while they were here. It was great to see everyone and my girls enjoyed playing with their second cousins. Below is a pic of some of Grandma Bert's granddaughters along with Morgan.
