Catching up on weekend fun!

Weekends are always busy but more so the past month or so with family in town, heading in my photo "Christmas" season, football starting, and Cole's birthday. So I'm playing catch up again. Last weekend Grandpa Terry was in town for the long Labor day weekend. He stayed at the new indoor water park. The kids had so much fun going down all the slides, playing on the pirate ship, and eating pizza. We met the cousins there too - we had 5 kids running in all separate directions. But they all did great and we didn't lose anyone! WHEW! They were worn out that night. Which was good because Tyler headed to the Iowa Speedway for the race with neighbors that afternoon. The kids and I were in bed sleeping by 8:30! I can't remember the last time my head saw the pillow that early!
This weekend we celebrated the Iowa State butt-kicking at our neighbors house. We've been having beautiful weather these past few weeks. I'm hoping it's the new trend!
Today I had a photo shoot at Ledges State Park in Madrid. I had never been there, but had heard really great things about it. It was so pretty. The streams run right over the roadways. People park and walk through the streams instead of on the roads. Kids were splashing through the water, catching minnows, and being kids! We took a picnic lunch and hung out after my photo shoot making a day of it. It was a relaxing way to get away without having to drive very far. I'm looking forward to taking the kids back soon. Cole keeps asking when we can go back - he loves the outdoors.
The tooth fairy has not visited our house yet...Cole tooth is still wiggling! I will send an update as soon as she/he does!
