NIABI ZOO

Im seeing alot of similarites. We tried leaving the boys with the monkeys, but even they said the boys are too messy.

The boys where able to drive the combines all by themselves pretty neat experience for them. The next day Grandpa Rich took us on a tour of the factory, where we saw the combines made from a piece of sheet metal to this giant machine.

We had great weather for the race, still hot and humid but could have been alot worse.
Corey and Cole ran the Jr. Bix which is .7 of a mile and Julie and I ran the 7 mile race.

BOWLING ON A RAINY DAY

Supposed to go to the waterpark but some rain and cooler weather kept us in. Oh well we had alot of fun anyways.

CAMPFIRE

Maquoketa Caves State Park

The boys love this place and had to come back this year. It was a little muddy in some of the caves due to alot of rain, but thats all part of the fun.

ST.LOUIS

As most already know, we stopped in St.Louis first. Did some fishing, SixFlags, which we also where able to see Jeremy Camp, a Christian rock artist, and caught a Cubs - Cardinals game. Go Cubbies! Thanks Sherri and Rich for a great time.
