Visitors from Iowa

Some of our dear friends from Iowa came to spend a few days......unlike most Iowa Citians, these ones know how to cheer for a real baseball team!  Most of the folks up there are Cubs fans, but Mike and Sarah know better.  They came down and went to the game Sunday and then spent the rest of their days with us!  We had lots of good talks and laughs, and lots of fun at the City Museum and Six Flags. I think there was fun had by all (adults and kids).

Mike and Sarah were both troopers at the City Museum, trying to keep up with all the kids, being that my 9 month pregnancy body doesn't allow much agility these days.  I DID give them fair warning tho, and they said, no prob!  They might have regretted that afterwards!

And THEN came Six Flags!! Mike too that one like a champ too!  He rode the Log Flume about 15 times with Jack!!!!  The Log Flume ended up being all the kids' favorite ride that day, and all of them could ride by themselves except Jack.  Poor Mike went again, and again, and again......even with a smile on his face!!!  Thanks, Mike!!  Next summer, I'll take up my slack!

Jack and Bella not so sure about the weird slides.....they eventually did it

Sarah and Bella (couldn't get the red eye to fix in some of these)


This makes me laugh.....Jack crying and pissed because Peyton won't give hime a turn to "drive"

The sucker fishes that all the kids were scared of (it was kinda creepy)
