Are we in Iowa yet?

On Saturday, we took the kids to my great aunt Pat and great uncle Don's farm outside of Red Oak, Iowa for a family picnic. We told Chloe we were going to Iowa and she did really well except for the last 30 minutes or so during which she asked if we were in Iowa yet about 20 times.

The weather was really beautiful and we had so much fun! We played soccer, blew bubbles and rode on the (John Deere) Gator. Chloe really enjoyed checking out all of the farm equipment. Pat & Don have a beautiful farm on a hill and you can see rolling hills, covered in crops for miles. We forgot how quiet the country is and marveled at the sound of the wind.

Parker loved crawling around in the HUGE yard! I won't let him do this in our backyard!

Chloe got to pick her own sweet corn from the garden! Dad is going to grill it up yummy for us!
