With the summer school semester over Jeff, Anders and I were able to go home to Iowa to visit some family and friends. I am always amazed by how green Iowa is. My cousin who grew up here, but has also moved away, describes it as "soft" or "lush". Iowa, there is now place like it. I especially love Iowa summers, but more importantly I love my family and friends that live there.
The first weekend we visited Preston, April and Parker came in from Ohio for a visit as well. The cousins had a great time together!
The two weeks that followed Anders had many adventures in grandma's garden, swinging, play on the farm, playing with 2nd cousins, and visiting family. He loved seeing the horses, throwing rocks into the creek, and walking the gravel roads (according to him all the rocks were balls).
There were some extra special dinners with Grandma Judge and and Great Grandma Hempy.
It was so nice to spend 2 weeks with Grandma and Grandpa Judge. Thanks for having us.
During our stay I saw some very special friends from from college (GO ISU), and Anders made some new friends with their children.
It was so great to see everyone. We miss you!
Two weeks with us here in Iowa was BEAUTIFUL! We are so blessed! Love you!
