Family Fun in Iowa

We just returned from visiting my brother, Brian and his family - wife Gayle and kids Ronnie & Cameron - in Des Moines, IA. We had so much fun together! Iowa was different that we expected. It is very pretty and green and is not flat. It was humid. And it rained on the 4th of July. But that didn't dampen our spirits, and it cleared up in time for fireworks. Many thanks to the Borst family for their wonderful hospitality!



There are so many great pictures, I put together this slideshow. You will see the state capital in Des Moines, one of the "Bridges of Madison County," our July 4th fun, the old buildings of the Amana Colonies, and an Iowa Cubs (AAA minor league baseball) game, and lots of cousin adventures.
