Of course we HAD to stop at the John Deere
Tractor factory in Waterloo on the way down
and toured the Brucemore Gardens and estate
around the corner from Tom and Trina's
 |
| Trina was definitely surprised! Tom very cleverly pulled it off! |
 |
| We had a Greek dinner at the grocery store's restaurant! Pope Francis blessed the meal :-) |
 |
| Friend Kyle baked yummee chocolate caramel cakes..mmmm |
 |
| All the kids were pretty excited |
 |
| And the next night we celebrated Jett's ninth birthday |
 |
| "I wonder what's in those packages....." |
 |
| Mom and Dad went to the Garth Brooks concert in Milwaukee, so Grampa was in charge of dinner after Mass on Saturday Thank goodness for the Dairy Queen :-) |
 |
| On Sunday we went to the Czech Fest in downtown Cedar Rapids |
 |
| Annika wanted a butterfly |
 |
| Ari got a rose |
 |
| 'Painted Ladies' |
 |
| An apple a day for Jett and Caiden |
 |
| Ari and Anni get to the core |
 |
| Grampa Bob watches as Ari and Jett pretend to be brave |
 |
| Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee........... |
 |
| Gramma Diane gets dizzy just watching these things spin |
 |
| We all needed icees to cool off |
 |
| The kids all won some prizes and met a couple of scarecrows :-) |
 |
| On the way back to ND, we saw the Lunar Eclipse |
