Iowa

We just got back from a vacation to Iowa which went wrong in a very good sense. We had planned to stay a few days with Terry's family and then head up for a few days with Craig's family and then go camping in the Ozarks. Of course, Abby got really sick and so we didn't do the camping thing and ended up just staying with Evelyn (Craig's mom) and doing day trips. It was awesome. We got to spend a lot of time with Evelyn who is 93 and can remember all my kids names, had a great time at the children's museum, and could not imagine the 4th of July without seeing the fireworks. She stayed up and told us about making soap with pig fat and telling us about her husband being in a German Prisoner of War camp. She is the most matter of fact person I have ever met and I hope to be just like her someday.
