2-year-old Preschool

 

Look at me!  I'm all ready for my first day of 2-year-old preschool!

My school has a cool Lion out front!

This is what I made today with my hand print!

Daddy was so proud of me that we went out for lunch!

Meals From The Heartland

Volunteering this afternoon for Meals from the Heartland!

 

Our Rookies have a lot to learn.

Aiden is a veteran and knows how to do every job.

Quick photo after.  What a great afternoon.

Pink Computer

I love this pink computer!

Reiman Gardens

We brought Audrey to Reiman Gardens to check it out.  She LOVED it!

Bass Pro Shop

 

This morning we are checking out the Bass Pro Shop.  We've been told we're really missing out since we have never been here.  We sure like the 4 wheelers greeting us at the door!

 

The aquariam with natural Iowa fish is pretty cool!

Okay...we jumped on a lot of 4 wheelers...

First Day of School

These two are VERY excited for the first day of school!

Well...all 3 of these boys are excited for school to start - even though the weather is raining!

Aiden is in Mrs. Hauge's class this year and is very excited that his buddy, Adam, from preschool and Kindergarten, is in his class.

Parker knows a couple of his classmates as well.  He is in Mrs. James' room.

  

A couple of pictures after school.  The day went great!

Ames Playdate

We met up with friends at Reiman Gardens this morning and showed them our favorite alien!

Emery loved them all!

After lunch, we went with Iola over to Brookside park and drove the fire truck.

Guess who loved driving the firetruck the most!

Jester Nature Playscape!

Emery is ready to play!

The Three Amigos!

Everyone in!

We had so much fun throwing rocks!

Brothers!

The boys were a little excited to run down to the water and throw bigger rocks!  Can you see them?

What a great morning playing in water and throwing rocks!  We'll have to come back with Daddy sometime!

I Cubs

Look - a digger!

Our first I Cubs game!

Turns out that Liam was here as well! We don't quite follow a whole

game, but we sure had fun watching part of it!

Ice Cream Sundae

Yum!

Scouting

I'm crazy excited to get my cub scout uniform!

Park

We haven't played with the Hutchinson's much this summer, so we fit in a
play date this morning.

We had a great time playing together!

We still can all fit on the swinging bench together, but not for long!

Emery

Still Tired

Good thing Daddy got me ready for bed already....

Looping Louie!

Mom and Dad brought us home this AWESOME German game!

sleeping

 

Almost made it to bed this morning....all of the time I had with my Grandparents was tiring!

Leaving Salzburg

The bakery is stocked for a busy day a head, but...

The streets are empty this time in the morning.  Why are we up walking around?

To listen to the Glockenspiel, of course!  I couldn't come here with hearing them play.

It's a bit foggy this morning with a little touch of rain, but it won't matter where we are going.

 

We got all dressed up for this occasion.

Can you tell where we are?

We are underground in a salt mine!

We even crossed over into Germany and back to Austria while underground!

Our tour guide was quiet impressive as he spoke in German, English, and Italian every single time he said something.  However, it seemed like each time he spoke, he talked longest in German and shortest in Italian.  We weren't sure if he was quite repeating everything.

We are heading back to Frankfurt, Germany as our plane takes off tomorrow morning.  We are not sure what these plants are, but they look really interesting.  My only guess was beans, but it just didn't look right to me.
