Iowa Trip

This summer we road tripped to Fort Dodge to spend 6 days, including Fourth of July, with Gilby's family. The kids did pretty great in the car as usual, but we were thankful to have the 11 hour drive behind us and get in some good cousin time. We spent lots of time hanging out with family, riding bikes/scooters, and just playing, but had at least one fun event each day. On Saturday we went to a little kiddie fair, on Sunday the kids fished with Grandpa, Gilby, Uncle Joe and Uncle Shawn, on Monday we went out to lunch and to a movie, and on Tuesday (the 4th), we went to a small town parade in Gowrie, out to lunch and back to Uncle Joe's for more playtime and fireworks. A fun time of reconnecting with our Iowa family and memory making for the kiddos.

I love this picture of Ryker and Great Grandpa Steck. Ryker was asking him all sorts of questions about the plants, dirt, and corn field behind their house. It was great.
