Memorial Weekend -- a little late!

Sorry for the delay in posting! We made a trip to Iowa for memorial day weekend and other than some crazy weather, we had a great time! Ben had lots of fun running around the farm, playing with the dogs and honing his sports skills. He was a little bummed he didn't get to go down to the pond and fish with daddy but maybe next year he will be big enough that I wont worry so much about him trying to go in the water or getting hooked in the eye with a fish hook.

The weather was HOT but Ben was able to stay cool by swigging his own mini-waters. He thought he was soooo cool :) Of course he is still perfecting his technique so much of the water made its way onto his shirt and shorts.

Most people camped that weekend but Ben and I drove into town to stay with great-grandma Kay since I didn't think he'd do so well getting any good sleep in the tents. It ended up being a really good thing since the second night was filled with strong storms and tornado warnings! Lots of the tents were water-logged and everyone camping had to head up to uncle tom's to take shelter in the basement - yikes!
