Hawkeye Express

 Today was the last game of the season for the iowa hawkeyes. They have a train that runs from coralville to the stadium. The kids have seen it many times over the last couple of football seasons and have wanted to ride it. Today we finally decided to give it a try.

 Unlike most of the other folks on the train, we just wanted to hitch a ride to stadium and then ride it right back to our car. On the way there we rode up on the top level and rode on the bottom level on the way back.

Happy Birthday Grace

Grace, your mom and I really love you. You bring a lot of joy to our family and we're glad you're a part of it.

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.

Halloween

We had a visit from some of Hogwart's most famous including: Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Ginny Weasley and Dobby the house elf.

Mom, James and John made it to the school for the Halloween parade and also got to see Mrs. Polly.
