Wow - a lot going on this week. Flooding, rain, more rain..., the start of Tee-Ball, Funtastic Days (our towns' small - and I stress small festival), a night out with friends, and Father's Day! Whew...!
If it's not tornados and weather alerts it's rain and flooding! Luckily we have not be affected by the flooding. We do not live in a flood zone. And neither Tyler or I work downtown (which was evacuated on Friday afternoon). Other than the ocassional detour from a road closure we have been fine. But it is definitely a sight to see. It is absolutely amazing how much water we have. I travel around the metro a lot for work and I took several trips over Saylorville Lake this week - you just never imagine the water could ever get that high. We've had beautiful DRY weekend so hopefully that trend will continue and the waters will receed fast.
Tee-Ball started on Tuesday, and somehow Tyler and our neighbor Mike took over coaching positions. Hey - it's good for them. I have been surprised by Tyler's patience when it comes to coaching 4 & 5 year olds. Patience isn't usually one of Tyler's strong points. It is a little frustrating for Cole, he's used to hitting a real ball with a real bat. This is BAM-BAM league... so it's all about plastic.
Funtastic Days is Grimes' small town festival. Typical carnie rides, parade, food and beer garden. We took Cole up to ride the rides Friday night. We met some neighbor friends and they all got to ride together. Saturday morning we walked up to the parade and met our buddy Luke from pre-school and daycare. They had a great time at the parade waving and catching candy. The neighbors that live right across the street from us were in the parade. The family owns a dentistry and they purchased a FIRE TRUCK. You'll see it in the parade pics. Wow - now that's a nice play toy!
Saturday night we had a night out with friends. It was a good time. I'll leave it at that. I'm sure the photos will say it all. If you're wondering about the IOWA HAWKEYE balls - a few men won the balls playing carnival games. They became the centerpiece of the whole night. They swear they won them for the kids!
Father's Day today! Or if you're Tyler you tried to pull off a Father's Day WEEK - then it was Father's Day WEEKEND. Hummm - try DAY...! We had Tyler's dad, sister, brother in-law, and kids over for a cookout. The kids had a great time playing outside. Landry was just interested in digging in the dirt and eating rocks.
There are a lot of pictures this week! ENJOY!
