Adventure

Daddy planned a big adventure for us on Saturday. We took Grayson to Auntie Ems and the big kids and Rylee went on a hike with us in Ames. There is a national known frisbee golf park that is built in an old forest with trees and meadows. It was really pretty and we hiked the whole thing! Zachey made it almost the whole way, but was definitely worn out by the end and needed daddy to carry him.

--not sure who was the most excited...Kenna or Rylee!-- 

--don't we look like adventurers?-- 

--big stairs mom-- 

--eating a snack by the stream-- 

--kiddos had fun walking in the water--

Aside from the 90 degree weather and 127% humidity that is Iowa summer, we had such a fun time. I think the kids really enjoyed being outside and exploring new territory. Kenna really got into the whole adventure thing :) We ate pizza at a local place in Ames then headed home for much needed naps!

That evening we had an impromptu BBQ with the neighbors. A few of them had a smoked pork contest, some smoking it for over 8 hours. It was really amazing, and I am not a pork fan! Some brought sweet corn, salads, dip, and I made twice baked potatoes. It was REALLLLLY hot, but it was worth it to have a fun evening catching up with the neighbors. We are lucky to live in such a nice neighborhood!
