One Last Getaway

As our summer is quickly winding down, we packed up and headed up to Northwest Iowa for one more quick trip. We started in Spencer with Grammy, Grandpa, & Aunt Liz. Although we only had a short amount of time - we packed in quite a bit! First, Grandpa knew just how to welcome us home with Marie's name mowed into the lawn! It was hard to capture it completely, but hopefully you get the idea.

Grammy & Marie also spent a lot of time playing outside, especially in the
dirt and rocks by the street.

Next we went to Sheldon to see the Van Beek side. We had a wedding on Saturday night. Marie loved playing with the older kids. She tried and tried to keep up with them.

Marie has this fascination with the dog dish at Grandma's house. This time she was washing her baby's feet in the water bowl. This just proves she is a smarty pants because earlier that morning Grammy Mueting washed Marie's feet in the sink. This girl is always thinking...

Sunday was such nice day with no humidity so we played outside at the park. Grandma spent a lot of time pushing that swing.

It was a short trip but we had a lot of fun. Now it is back to reality with Andy starting on rotations this year, Kelly back at work fixing those 'r' and 's' sounds, Marie moving on to full-time in the Ladybug room at daycare, and Charlie back to his 8 hour nap while we are all away.

Fall is definitely on it's way!
