Fall In Iowa

It is officially breathtaking to see the colors on the trees in Iowa at this time of year. We did not know we had this colorful specimen right in our back yard when we bought our house, but I sure am glad for it! What a good God we have to create these colors for our benefit!

I get a kick out of this! :)

First Day of School

The first day of school was August 20th. We now have a kindergartener and a 3rd grader. Yikes! When did they grow up so fast?!? And yes, our cat wanted to be in the pictures too.

 That's Audrey coming down the slide. Really.

Fun City 2

We played a lot of arcade games, since the company gave us "free" money to spend. They each cost money to play, then you earn tickets which can be redeemed at the prize shop. The girls each came home with several items of infinite importance to them such as stuffed animals, puzzles, and the like.

  Aaron and Audrey enjoyed playing Deal or No Deal. Never did win the big case though....

Mindy enjoyed playing Doodle Jump, which was one of the few games requiring actual skill to play. She even beat the game and got on the leaderboard at #7. Winning this game = 1,000 tickets!

 Abby loved the squirrel bubble popping game. It was just her size and just her skill level.

Aaron also won this game a few times, receiving the 609 tickets shown there.
