Saturday morning Ryan and I headed over to Iowa City for the football game. Just us... and it was nice. We had a really good time! The weather was brisk, but the sun was warm, so really perfect! And the Hawks had a huge blowout... which I know the team we played wasn't 'good', but seeing all those touchdowns is FUN. That's what I like - all the touchdowns!
While we were gone, Mike & JeanAnn had the kids... and took them back to Creston for a sleep over, and fun time with Papa and Grandma. From all the pictures I got from JeanAnn, and the stories today - I know they had a good time, and that makes me super happy. Kayson has just grown up so much lately... he has done really well for them (and others), and it's just nice.
Ryan and I got back to DSM around 4 pm Saturday afternoon (we left the game early to beat the traffic), and we did some shopping. Kayson needed pants desperately, so we attempted to buy some in hopes that they would fit. We didn't do too bad! Cora got a few things too. :) Then we planned on doing dinner out (somewhere nice - that we don't normally go to)... but after hearing and experiencing some long waits due to Homecoming being at some of the schools, we settled for Gusto out in Waukee - which was great.
Ryan and I tried to stay up... to party... ha, totally kidding... but we both were sleeping by 9:00 on the couch! Party animals. :)
Meanwhile, Kayson and Cora had a great time in Creston. It was 'Balloon Days' in Creston, so they got to see the hot air balloons up, close and personal!! Kayson loved it - he told us all about it... Cora didn't like the fire, but otherwise I think she was ok! They also got to see a parade, and Kayson made out like crazy with candy. He saw fire trucks, and everything!! They played outside quite a bit too I think... Kayson drove the Jeep around, and gave Cora rides, and she loved it. Especially the radio in the Jeep. She cracks me up. I think Papa and Grandma kept them busy and happy!!
This morning Ryan and I took our time getting around - we got groceries, then headed to Creston to pick up the kids. Kayson instantly wanted to go see the firetrucks at the Fire Station. With Papa working for the city, he can pretty much do what he wants!! Ryan, Mike, Kayson and I went up to the Fire Station to look at the new fire truck. Kayson walked around that place like he was the BOSS! (Climbing into everything, looking around, touching everything, opening doors) - It was hilarious (so much different from 2 years ago when we went)! The best part was near the end, when we going to leave - the Fireman asked if Kayson wanted to go for a ride!!!! K was hesitant at first, but as long as Papa and Mommy were going with - he was good! The Fireman needed to fill the fire truck with gas, so we got to ride!! It was SO COOL (even for an adult!) Kayson was one lucky little boy!! :)
We enjoyed lunch, then headed back home early afternoon... we've just being doing this and that this afternoon. I've done a ton of laundry, so cleaning, organizing, I put the fall stuff outside... Ryan mowed... we played, we read, we snacked. It's been a good day and weekend!
Here are some pics!
