This weekend the boys and I went to Webster City to see my aunt and uncle who were visiting from Texas. The cousins talked us into going the the fair before we headed home. Max had a great time on almost all the rides. Riley was too scared to try any of them. Maybe next year.

Max really wanted to go on this ride so I let him. He quickly regreted his decision and was happy when it was over.

This year we had a low key 4th. We went to Slater's fireworks the day before. On the forth we went to the Ames pancake breakfast and parade. It was super hot and the kids weren't that happy with waiting. At least there was some shade.

Superior Hiking Trail

This year for vacation we backpacked the Superior Hiking Trail in MN. The first day of hiking wasn't bad - it was just very muddy. The landscape is very beautiful and the weather was perfect.

This is the second day on the trail. We hiked to Split Rock and camped. Very hard climb up to our camp site. The next day we walked out to our Jeep, since the MN govt. closed all state parks. On the upside we missed getting pounded by a huge storm and the hotel was nice.

These flowers were growing everwhere. All the flowers were beautiful
