Iowa

Ahh..the smell of pig poop and cow poop never smelled so good when you are here in Iowa. Just kidding, but it has been wonderful to be back in my stomping grounds this past week. We have done several things and rested. We got to my dad's in Sioux Center about 10:30 on Friday night. Cohen and Carlie were wired after riding in the car all day. They didn't end up falling asleep till at least 1. But, we could sleep as long as needed on Saturday so it wasn't so bad. We have been to Sioux City, Orange City and Le Mars so far. We have been to Pizza Ranch twice which is the best part for me. Oh, and I've had Grandma Bensema's mashed potatoes. Life is good again! Tonight we will be hanging out with my good friend Maggie (who I know will love I finally posted again! :) ) and Jon and their sweet baby Carter in Orange City. It is always good to catch up with old friends. Next weekend we will head to Cedar Rapids to my dad and Brenda's house and spend some time there and do a few small trips before heading back to Houston the last week of July. This summer has flown by, probably since I worked for most of it. But, the money that I made is such a good thing that I may consider doing it again, even though I got a little bored at times. Next time I will post some pictures of our trip, hopefully it won't be too long from now.
