Busy Summer....

We've been so lucky to have had family visiting us for the past month! My sister was here with her kids, my parents came back out for another visit, and my brother-in-law was here for awhile as well. Everyone left yesterday and it is all kinda sad....so if you've been waiting to call, now is a great time...I could use some cheering up! Anyways, here are a few of the MANY things we've been up to------

We visited the movie site from Field of Dreams which took place here in Iowa.
The infamous corn field from the movie. Cameron has this giant baseball bat hanging on the wall in his bedroom so we brought it with us to take photos with....we got some good ones!

We also visited the home site of Mark Twain in Missouri....here is the fence he had to white-wash that stands next to his house

While at Mark Twains homesite we climbed up to the top of a local lighthouse for some pics. This one is over looking the Mississippi river with an old paddleboat floating by. I climbed all the steps up and down with Emme strapped to me in the babybjorn.....lets just say my calves were VERY sore the next two days!

My sister and I took the kids to Minneapolis for a few days. We ate at Rainforest, rode some of the rides at Nickelodeon Universe and did some shopping....we were exhausted when we got back from that trip!

And of course a few photos of the kids!

Emme is growing so fast!

I've got more photos from our adventures to post, so look for the rest tomorrow!
