Living History Farms

We've been spending some time trading off children with the Gerstenbergers.  Today, I took the boys and headed to Living History Farms!

Checking out a tepee at the 1700 Ioway Indian Farm.

Checking out the chickens at the 1850 Pioneer Farm.

Emery was thrilled that he helped get the eggs from the chickens.

  
 
Measuring how many "hands" tall we are at the 1900 Horse-Powered Farm.

 
We certainly loved checking out the horses.

 
Playing around while we wait for the John Deere tractor to take us back to the 1875 Town of Walnut Hill.

Some snacks on the wagon ride.

Pile on!

All of the boys were thrilled with the actual leeches at the drug store!

We headed up to Ames and had a little bit of time to run around campus.

Family selfie!

The boys had a great time checking out all sorts of things beside the Lake Laverne.

The boys were smitten with Astro-Cy!

We meet up with Chris and Olivia at Hickory Park.  We had a great time running around campus today.

Waterville - Father's Day Weekend

We stopped in Elkader for lunch on our way to Waterville.

The boys were thrilled with the ice cream!

Brandon playing ping pong with Noel.

Emery loves this chair swing at Kurt and Diane's house.

 
That was a quick weekend, but it certainly wore the boys out!

Greek Mythology Meets Baseball

It's totally normal for kids to look at Greek mythology books with their friends instead of watching baseball.

Worm Races

Parker was afraid to touch the worms, but Aiden wasn't!  

Aiden tapped away to get his worm to move, but he didn't win the worm races.
