Day 215: While visiting our friends in Iowa we played a new game. Jackson really liked it and wanted us to buy it, but we could only find it on Ebay for like $30. I didn't like it that much! One day at Half Price books I had them check, and they had a brand new one in Washington!! $10 later we had a new game shipped to our house!! God really cares about us, even the little things!

Day 216: Listening to these two while they race is something else!

#hartzsummer2017 Roadtrip Part 3

We finally made it to WI!

It was a beautiful day out on Green Lake with our families!

Cousins

Shopping with Mom

We saw Despicable Me 3 and enjoyed ice cream and cheese curds at A&W.

Another beautiful evening on the lake, maybe we need a boat? :)

Madison Zoo with my family

Fun times

The bird house was so cool!

Annual visit to the lighthouse 

More fishing with Papa. It is worth getting up early if you caught 10 fish!

Jackson was pumped!

Uncle Mike got married!!

Handsome boys!

Family shot

We had a great time visiting with friends and family, but 16 days was a long time to be gone from home! The 22 hour trek back was a LONG one, but we made it!

#hartzsummer2017 Summer Road Trip Part 2

After our time at camp with the Hartzlers, we headed to Iowa to spend some time with Brian's college roommate. Brian and Tim were roommates only freshman year, but they have stayed in touch every since. 

This was my first time to see Tim in almost 12 years and meet his wife and two boys.

They were the most gracious and thoughtful hosts welcoming us in and taking such good care of us.

We loved spending time at this park that was close by their house. 

Elam caught his first fish!!

Lincoln caught a big one too!!

Just.Beautiful.

We spent an afternoon at the local waterpark and had a BLAST!!

Who knew you could have so much fun in the middle of a corn field!!

Another day we hit up Fort Frenzy!

We did the Bumper Boats and GoKarts several times.

Daddy and Lincoln showing no mercy on me!

Love my boy!

We also played Laser Tag and did some bowling!

Jackson couldn't get enough of the GoKarts!!

Tim and Brian seemed liked they see each other on a regular basis, Emily and I had a great time talking and hanging out, Lincoln loved Elam, and Jackson went with the flow and was so kind to all the boys. I wasn't sure what to expect but this short stop exceeded all of my expectations and left me praying harder for a radiation therapy job in Houston to open up!

Loved this post by Emily:)

Thompsons, we are so thankful for you and will always cherish our time with you guys!
