Summer Camps!

 When we got home, it was back to camps to finish out the summer!

Landon and Dylan stayed at our house for a week of Way2Play!

It may have included Nerf wars every afternoon!

I was Way2Player of the day!

It was a week of smiles and sweatiness!

While I was doing Way2Play, Clara was in Way2Cheer! 

Clara worked on perfecting her one handed cartwheel!

For stunting, Clara was one of the flyers!  Top left with purple shirt!

All the cheerleaders did a performance at the end of the week that we got to watch!

Outside of camp, we stayed busy with other things!  Clara built a fairy garden at Grandma B's house and opened an ice cream shop with Liz!

We took a end of summer trip to the mountains with Grandma B and Grandpa Mark!

Clara caught a fish and I went swimming in the rain!

On the Road Again!

We spent the last time we had in Iowa hanging out with family!  Then it was time to hit the road again to head home!

Uncle Jim is always good for a snuggle and a laugh!

Owen and I were happy to help Grandpa mow the lawn!

One last family picture!

One last picture in front of the lake before getting in the car!

And an imaginary baseball game to get some energy out!

Then it was time to head home!  We all got comfy in the car - including Jessie!

We found a perfect spot for a mid-day stop - it had a dog park for Jessie and swings for us!

Jessie definitely understands how to relax at a hotel now!  But the elevators still make her nervous!  Until the next road trip!

Arnold's Park!

Our last big outing during our time in Iowa was to Arnolds Park with Dad, Aunt Christy and Grandma and Grandpa!

Look what Grandma got us into!

Clara won't say any evil!

Now she won't see any evil and I won't say any evil!

Resting up before our mini golf game!

Who's the best pirate look alike?

It was a competitive game of mini golf!

Clara had fun finding all the pirates!

We found a playground to play in for a while!

Then bumper cars! I was able to ride by myself!

Clara and Aunt Christy were definitely aiming for me!

Then we got into the roller coasters!

Aunt Christy was Clara's riding buddy!

We did a lot of the rides in the park and had so much fun!

Even Grandpa rode the carousel! 

Dad got on some of the roller coasters, too!

Then it was Dad and Clara aiming for me in the bumper cars! But I got them first!

A day at an amusement park in the summer isn't complete without ice cream!

It was good ice cream!
