Fall hike at Effigy Mounds

We we went on a Fall hike to Effigy Mounds in northeastern Iowa yesterday. The weather was beautiful & it was a perfect day for a hike. Check out Logan's antlers!

Logan's bday party

We finally managed to have a birthday party for Logan in August. We were on vacation on his birthday & it took us a while to get it planned. The weather was so cold, even in the middle of August, the kids were cold.

Surprise party for Lindsey

We actually pulled off a surprise party for Lindsey's birthday this year. It was a last-minute thought & it worked like a charm.

Our new boat

We started a new hobby this summer on the river with a new boat. Of course, the weather didn't cooperate much, so we're hoping for more time out there next year!
