Our First Iowa Summer

One of the things we were looking forward to most about living in Iowa was being close to family.  This summer we definitely took advantage of that!  Every weekend in July was filled with a family event.

We spent the 4th of July in Reinbeck with California cousins.

The following weekend was in Bronson, Iowa with the Brink family.

Celebrating 60 years of marriage!

                                               

Celebrating my Dad's 60th birthday on the Mighty Mississippi!

A family vacation to the Dells!

Whew!  It was fun to have Jerrod home for the entire month of July!  I'm sure after that whirlwind of a month, he's ready to get to work!
