Trip to Iowa (#2)

Kathryn and I were able to go to Iowa again the beginning of August for a surprise party my mom planned for my dad's 70th birthday. We stayed for 10 days and had a lot of fun with family and friends. My little brother and 2 of my sisters also came from out of town. My dad was SO surprised which was really fun. We had a lot of fun celebrating...

Kathryn loved digging into some watermelon. (Can we say someone's a little possessive?)
Fun with cousins...
We even got to meet a brand new niece/cousin who was born on my dad's birthday. She is beautiful and her name is Charlotte Grace...
And friends...My friend Amy invited us to go to her son Alex's kindermusic class. Kathryn loved it, but cried every time we moved on to the next activity.
They made these cool little tambourines. Amy got this cute picture of Alex
Some of our friends from church have a farm and planted a ton of sweet corn for anyone to come pick and eat. So we went there twice to get some delicious fresh corn. I had never picked corn before and it was a lot of fun.Kathryn loved crawling around and munching on little baby corns we found.Just check out this cute face ;)The first time we picked 350 ears of corn and the second time we picked a little over 100. Here's Kat, my dad and all the corn we picked the first time.
Unfortunately the corn I brought home (and was so excited for Drew to try) got warm in the box and wasn't very good. Anyway, we had a lot of fun on this trip but missed having Drew there with us.

You may have not picked corn before, but you definitely had experience in de-tasseling it ! :)
