Here are a few pictures of summer here in Iowa so far:
FINALLY Skyler got out on the golf course!
Rebekah's first time on the waverunner. She giggled the whole way.
All of us eating at one of Skyler's favorite restaurants, Hu Hot.
While Carriet and Kemily were here we decided to do a music video to "Do Re Mi." Yes we wore matching outfits and yes we choreographed a dance that even the boys did. We asked YouTube to come film it (hehe). It will be up online soon.
Some intense tetherball games with Colby and Kayla.
This is the pedestrian bridge connecting CB and Omaha over the Missouri River. Here we are on the state border - Rebekah was in Nebraska and Skyler was in Iowa.
Rebekah and I were asked to be tour guides at the Kanesville Tabernacle one of the church historical sites in Council Bluffs. We're there on Sundays.
On the 3rd of July we went to the Omaha Royals game and enjoyed great seats with the fam.
Fireworks after the game!
Other things about I've learned about Iowa this Summer:
-there is a lot of roadkill, I promise a new animal on every major road all the time
-all the hype about fireflies or lightning bugs is totally legit - they are awesome!
-when there's a siren in the city that's the signal to go into the basement for a tornado warning
-they DO NOT mess around with their storms out here, thunder and lightning weekly pretty cool except it keeps me awake at night
-I don't think there is ever a moment that passes without someone on the street mowing their lawn or tending to their yards... always the gentle hum of a mower
Max Sherzer was signing autographs before the game. Us geniuses didn't bring anything for him to sign for us. Whoops.
