All things Iowa

The corn box seems to be a common finding in Iowa. Here's one we found this summer at the Johnson county fair.

Fall Fun

 Jumping from the swings into a big pile of leaves
 Making a leaf maze
 Running around crazy
Hanging out and watching all of the fun.

Walking on the water

We got invited to a secret pond. I jumped off of a floating yellow dock. My foot was on the water and my other foot was in the air. I said I was flying on the water when I saw this picture.

A few happenings

 John just seems to get bigger every day. He is now sitting up and also just started crawling. Watch out big brother and sisters. He will be coming in your rooms now.
 We had a recent trip to Nauvoo and just had to have a ride in the wagon behind the oxen before they close for the winter. When the oxen chew their cud you can feel the crunching through their horns.
 James turned three last month. His favorite present was a pretend cell phone.
 Anne had her first field trip to the local apple orchard and got to ride the school bus for the first time. Mom and James and John met them out at the orchard. Here they are on the wagon getting ready to go out for a ride behind the tractor.
 There was a recent epic battle in our back yard between a wicked witch and a brave knight. For a while it seemed the battle could go either way. In the end, the knight was victorious.
And one picture of mom and John for good measure.
