Summer Vacation Part 2 - Iowa

Our 2nd summer vacation was a week in Iowa.  It was an exhausting, fun-filled week and so many memories were created!

The drive went really well - Cody got to be forward facing finally and we played his favorite movie, Moana, on the car DVD pretty much on repeat to keep him happy.  After 2 full days in the car, the kids were so ready to get out and play.  All of their cousins were there to greet them and Papa was waiting with his new zip line!



Addison created a bucket list of things she wanted to do while we were home and we managed to check off almost everything!


We boated, went swimming, fished (Graecyn caught a huge snapping turtle!), and played on the Maui Mat.  We went to the amusement park, ate Taco House (my FAVORITE!), had water balloon fights, rode the golf cart and go cart, shot off fireworks, played kick ball (so much fun!), and more.

The kids had so much fun together and it really was one of the most exhausting, most fun weeks creating so many fun family memories!  We can't wait to do it again next summer!
