A four hour drive (longer actually, since I was the worst navigator, being distracted by conversation... we had to re-calculate numerous times)... and we found ourselves in the hills of Iowa. Yes. Hills. Way to surprise me Iowa, not all flat corn fields (tons of corn fields, just not ALL corn field). Staying in a cabin in Iowa sounds... not appealing. But wow. The cabin was brand new... more like a rustic house (4 bedrooms). And the view was gorgeous, and the weather was sooo temperate. Ahhhhhh.
I didn’t spend the whole time watching the chillins’... I just got to hang out with them a bunch! And that is my element. Josiah and I went down the slide a bazillion times, I did every animal noise I can think of, ran around, read books, and I got to hold 2-month baby Sophie for hours! The mom in me was overjoyed!
One of my favorite parts was when we were about to roast marshmallows and we went to go find sticks! Josiah, being only two found a big one! And with his cute little voice, he said, “I found a big dick!” I understood he meant “stick”... but I still laughed ;D
Well, with the trees starting to change color and babies a plenty to quench my mom desire, I’d say it was a pretty good weekend!
We also went to a Norwegian Heritage Museum. I am part Norwegian, so I thought it was pretty cool... even though I spent half of the time pushing Josiah in the stroller making car noises :)
And speaking of fall... OMIGOSH! I LOVE FALL!!!! The colors are starting to change, it’s so beautiful, my heart is so warm and happy. I wish I could pause the world and have it stay like this (plus I’m not prepared to get any older! haha)
