Iowa

Last week I went to visit Sarah and Elisabeth while Alex attended a conference. This is their apartment building. The middle window on the right is their living room.

This is their neighborhood - very prairie.

Elisabeth does everything wholeheartedly, including watching PBS.

She likes to wear big shoes.

Two blocks from their apartment is a mall with a Children's Museum (next trip!) They have a playground inside the mall too.

I like to call this shot 'Where's Elisabeth?'

We got her new boots that matched her coat.

Downtown and U of Iowa are the same. Here is the grand view of the campus entry.

At one point in history, the railroad ended in Iowa City. Hundreds of LDS handcart pioneers started their trek west right at this park. It would be fun to figure out if Dad's ancestors started there!

This is real prairie grass.

Some sort of creepy crawly thing was discovered.

The girls.

We had a FHE / birthday party with Joe & Heidi.

Monday's activity was to teach Sarah a few cake decorating tricks. She made me a delicious birthday cake!!
