Tailgating

Kayson experienced his first tailgating fun this weekend. We made the trip to Iowa City Saturday late morning... Kayson snoozed on the way there (perfect), then we played outside in the chilly weather for hours. With our cold fingers and red noses, we fought through it and we had a great time. Kayson was SO good - running around, playing bags, throwing the football a little, eating a little, taking breaks in the back of the truck... it was just a good time. We got to see some friends we hadn't seen in awhile too - so that's always nice.

When the game kicked off, Kayson, myself, Holly & Gillian went back to their place... while the boys (Ryan & Clay) enjoyed the night game. Perfect birthday gift for Clay. Holly & I had such a wonderful time (once the kiddos were asleep!) - we talked and talked for hours... it was perfect, just what we both needed.

And today we headed back to DSM. We are all sleepy... a tad grumpy, but that just comes with being tired and knowing it's Sunday, right?!?! All and all - we had a great weekend... glad we were able to let Kayson experience Iowa City, and so thankful for our close friends, the Schultes. Here are some pictures from the couple days. (I'm noticing that my point and shoot camera takes awful pics)... disappointed!

Taking one of his several breaks - snacking (and getting out of the wind a little).


Playing bags - he's a great shot!


I'm pretty sure he was dancin at this point... there's always good music being played!


Hawkeye family!

Miss Gillian... tiny little thing... they played really well together!

On our way home, we hit a farm that was selling pumpkins.
