Roadtrips to Iowa!






This blog frustrates me sometimes. I really wanted a picture of me at the world's largest truck stop to be upload but it would not cooperate. Oh well. Here are some fun pics from Iowa though. I got to go to an Iowa Cubs game with my friend Ben(1st two pics). We also celebrated Carmen's(my sister in law) birthday in a fancy Italian restaurant. I also got to hold a very cute baby a lot. The last pic is of my new great-niece, Summer Rose. She is a major cutie.

It was a great adventure to head to Des Moines with my mom, sister, and niece. It was a true road trip with our constant picking on my mother and stopping at the World's Largest Truck stop along I-80. That place was impressive. It had a huge truck store where you could buy anything imaginable for a Semi. It also had a large food court and a big souvenir place. It as worth the stop. I was kinda surprised I had never noticed it as I drove to Utah. I guess that I was just too busy driving or something.

We only had one meltdown with my niece which is better than usual. I think the trip back to Madison was just too long. Maybe it was because I missed a turn. Maybe!

Well, it was a blast and it took way too long to write this post, because now I have to get all my pictures from the celebration of the 4th at my uncle's farm. That was a good time too! Happy Trails! A

Random Rhinelander Pictures!






Well, these are a few pictures that span a few weeks. I feel like I have been very busy lately. We went to visit my brother in Iowa and that was a great adventure. I will add pictures of that trip to the next blog. Just wanted to get these pictures on first. The weather in Wisconsin is definitely not predictable. The first two pics are of the hail we got a few weeks back. The next one shows the rain bouncing off the driveway during the same storm. Then, there is a picture of the clouds after the storm...thought they turned out well...and then finally, I got a picture of a butterfly in my yard. It has taken a lot of effort to get a picture of one before it would take off into flight! I did it! :)
