Our Trip To Iowa...Summed Up!

Here's the quick version of our trip to Iowa... Enjoy!

It began with Brad's little brother's wedding in Des Moines on June 26th... Brad was the Best Man and Tate (along with his cousin Cade) was one of the Ring Bearers.

We were a little nervous for how Tate would do in his "Ring Bearer Duties." Would he refuse? Would he be shy and cry? Would he run down the aisle?

Well I'm proud to day he didn't do any of these... although, once the wedding got underway, and the boys began to get a little bored, they decided to use their pillows to lie down... flat on their bellies... on the altar... oops.

We spent some time at the water park that's right across the lake from Brad's parents' house.

We celebrated Tate's fourth birthday with Brad's family. Tate was soooo happy to open some presents and eat his icecream cake.

Great Grandpa Sievers and his newest great grandchild.
On our last day in Iowa, my good friend from college, Amy and her family drove over two hours to come and visit us. We spent some time at the beach on Storm Lake. Tate and Amy's daughter, Ava, hit it off and were happy to pose for the camera... check out his arm placement: one around her shoulders and the other grabbing onto the lace on her bathing suit!!!

The ride home... 13 1/2 hours of fun...
Love to y'all,
Tracy
