Some Arkansas Time

In May we were fortunate enough to visit some family in the great State of Arkansas. Bill and Amanda were so nice to let us Iowa Ross' invade their space and enjoy their lovely home. We had such a wonderful time and the kids enjoyed seeing each as well. Aunt Amanda had the great idea as to provide crafts for the girls. So they came away with, as Whitney calls it, decorated flip flops.

The weather was nice, but as you can tell, these girlies look a little pooped...

Sleeping arrangements were cozy, but these cousins couldn't have been happier!

Makeovers and hair were important processes that needed done daily...

We took a hike on Sunday and enjoyed the great outdoors and even saw some wild life...

Camping was even in the cards, except Allie and Amanda still enjoyed their indoor creature comforts

Thanks so much Amanda, Bill, Kelsey, Riley, and Brendley, we really enjoyed our trip and hope to see you all again in the near future!

Fun time with our cousins

We were so lucky to have Joe and Samantha come and visit us for a few days. It has become our summer tradition. We tried to pack in as much fun as we could in the few days they were here. Water park, state captitol, water balloons, and doughnuts. (Can't forget bowling and snow cones) It is always a fun time to have them come and spend time with us! Thanks Joe and Sam (and Charlie and Evelyn)
