Kickball and Boat rides

This weekend we were down in Iowa for a housewarming party and kickball game. Friday night we headed down after I got home from work. We enjoyed a nice meal at DQ, still a favorite hometown hot spot, before meeting up with my parents. They hadn't eaten yet so we went to another hometown hot spot, the North Star. Maddox and Grandpa enjoyed their time chilling at the bar (Grandpa says it is never too young to start) and the rest of us sat back and smiled. I think Maddox really likes to hang out with Grandpa.

A friend of ours moved into a nice house earlier this year so we helped welcome him home with a party and a mini kickball tournament. Who would have thought that at 27 years old we would all hang out and enjoy some fun that takes us right back to 3rd grade?! After some fun in the sun  it was time to get to business. Unfortunately with all of the mosquitoes we weren't able to do much later into the evening .

After the party we headed back to my parents to hit the hay. Unfortunately with all of the scary weather we thought was coming it wasn't so easy to fall asleep.

Sunday we headed down to Storm Lake for a little more fun in the sun with a boat ride and swimming in the lake. Maddox really surprised me and he loves the water. He played and splashed like he was on top of the world! Bear even enjoyed his time in the water. It was a great excuse to hang out with Jess and Mitch whom we hadn't seen in a very long time!

With such a whirlwind weekend we got home and called it a day. Just a few more days and we are off to Chicago.
