Well...we went to Iowa for the weekend to attend my grandpa's 80th birthday party his 4 children planned for him. The weekend was a lot of fun. My big highlights were...going to the gap outlet!!! Which of course remind me to never return to Iowa in the winter. On the hour and a half return trip, there were 26 vehicles in the ditch. The weather was less than delightful. Another highlight was of course seeing all of my moms family again. I haven't seen some of my cousins for 6 years so it was fun to see how much they've all grown. Ethan had a blast watching all the kids and loved the airplane trip. Overall it was a great weekend, one to always remember!!!

Yes, we are the parents who feed their son lemons just to watch his face. Surprisingly though he likes them...

We had to settle on the idea that the airplane was the fastest way to get home. Plus daddy couldn't fit in the spaceship with us.
