Week in Iola

Well, after our week in Buhler, we spent a little time in Ottawa (4 days...) and then headed to Iola for a week. Your daddy always works for the dance recital that goes on down there and so we went and stayed at Grandma and Grandpa's for the week too! We had a lot of fun - we saw Grandma, Grandpa, Riri (charlie the dog), Grandma Great, and Auntie M every day! We also got to see Uncle G some!

 

Here's our week in pictures :)

Of course we had to play with bubbles! :) Grandpa could make some BIG bubbles!

This was seeing Auntie M the first time of the week! You were so excited and ran to her! :)

Yummy....frozen gogurt break... :)

On Saturday it was the city wide garage sale! We had one of our own! Your daddy and I sold all the big items we hauled to Iola to sell! Which made us happy :) You of course went around and took off all of the stickers and put them on yourself :)

Many people tried to buy your tricycle too....we said...not for sale ;)

While we were waiting on customers to buy our stuff you enjoyed playing with it....in fact, we had a box of stuffed animals that you didn't want others looking at....somehow we managed to sell most of them against your wishes ;)

Day 2 - ready for a walk downtown! :)

We went to one of our favorite little boutiques and you were so cute "shopping for yourself and baby brother"

You were so excited to pick out outfits for baby brother.

We did not purchase anything in your cart ;)

You loved this bunny and little couch!! :)

During our shopping trip we stopped to pick some flowers with Auntie M!

Of course you didn't want to ride in your stroller on the way home ;)

You enjoyed playing outside A LOT - we were outside so much! :) It's been beautiful weather to the start of the summer! :)

On Wednesday we went to the mall in Joplin. This was your first time eating at a food court! (well, you kind of ate at one when you were pretty little....but we won't count that one) I gave you MANY options of what to eat -- you, of course, chose PIZZA! And you ate almost the ENTIRE large slice of cheese pizza! :)

Food Court in Joplin :)

You LOVE shoes....you were CRAZY at the shoe stores...I'm sure the people were not pleased because you were trying on shoes so fast it was hard for us to get them back where they belonged. :) But you just ran through the aisles picking out shoes all over the place! :) You finally did decide on one of the pairs I wanted

You and Auntie M enjoyed all the masks....silly kids! :)

This is your "scared face" you pretend to be scared of many things....here you were "scared" of Auntie M's lion mask :)

Your first time getting candy out of a machine...

Reading with Grandpa - this is a seek-and-find book -- you were SO good at it!

 

We had such a great week in Iola - it was so nice to spend quality time with our family. I didn't take any photos at Grandma-Great's - but you are so sweet always running over to her house and saying hi! You brighten her day all the time!!

 

Now, on to the rest of summer....

Love you sweetie pie!
