Melissa and I are still trying to catch up on our sleep after our whirlwind tour of Iowa.  But I don’t want too much time to pass before I post some pictures of the trip and give God some glory for all the ways He blessed us over the course of last week.

The kids were excited to swim at the hotel in Galesburg, Illinois, before we headed on to Le Mars, Iowa.
We stayed with Bill and Jodee all week.  Here Jodee joins us for some ice cream at the parlor.
And here Bill clowns around with The Princess – who absolutely LOVED him.
When I lived in Le Mars twenty years ago, this church was known as Calvary.  Now it is the Le Mars UMC.  The current pastor, John, graciously introduced us before the service and I got to talk to some old friends after the service ended.
Ida up a tree.  Thankfully, our kids don't need amusement parks to keep them entertained.  (Le Mars is kinda short on amusement parks…)
The first few days, Melissa kept asking, "Is Iowa ALWAYS this windy?"
Bill let The Princess check out his crazy hat collection…
Monkey boy.
Bill has a charter bus business and showed us around the garage one day and then…
took us for a ride in the limo!
Melissa said I looked "creepy" in this hat.  Whatever.
