Iowa Summer 2009

A summer would not be complete without some time on the farm. This time Daddy came with us, and Mommy was at Columbus 2009 with Grandma Jan and thousands of others.

And summer in Iowa would not be complete without toads and frogs. Do you see the piggy-back pair here?

Croc boat.

Globe-trotting amphibian.

We helped with haymaking a couple of days.


Wiener roast!




We also helped deliver some of last fall's corn. Each of us got to ride on one trip in to the elevator.


The Wellman Parade is an annual highlight, even in the rain.





Riding on the four-wheeler was at least as exciting as the parade.


Thanks for all the stories, Chris...

Tommy...

Grandpa, and of course, Grandma, too, but as she was the photographer, we don't have the proof.

We like to read together, too. But it is lonely without all of you. See you again at the end of our big summer trip!
