We did a little more than that today...I am wiped out! Home again to recharge batteries before heading out once more...
Picked up Nathan's buddy Jimmy at ten, then went to a nature center near here. http://www.fontenelleforest.org/ We walked a mile of 'all access'/plankboard trails, then went off the beaten path and took a side trail down to the river. It was lots of fun. There is an installation right now on the trail, a dozen or so giant sculptures of bugs. Plus costumes indoors where you can dress up as bugs of all types--butterflies, bumblebees, etc.
We went out for lunch after and just got home. Jimmy and Nathan get to play another hour before we have to take him home. Then Sydney wants to go watch the County Fair Queen get crowned--a girl from our church is in the running. It's summer time in small-town Iowa.
