Cade and Kasen have two weeks off from school for Fall break so we kept them after they came for the Iowa football weekend. Brent, April and Cam took off for Brownsburg Sunday after dinner and the boys stayed on!
Sunday evening was movie and popcorn night - The Lego Movie per request! Monday was a rainy day so we carved the pumpkins in the morning and went swimming at the North Liberty rec center in the afternoon. An evening treat at Gurties ended the day.

Not really sure about pulling the insides out! |
Another rainy day on Tuesday sent us to the Children's Museum and then to the theater to see Dolphin Tale 2.

Kasen loved the airplanes |

Cade enjoyed the balls and tubes area. |

Racing the golf balls |

And making pizzas |
Melissa invited us to come to CR for supper. We ended up taking pizzas and the cousins had fun playing together for a few hours.
Wednesday was a sunny day (hurray) so we headed to papa Joe's farm to see great grandpa Joe and great grandma Janet. A tractor ride, rides on the 4-wheeler, and picking Indian corn from the garden were highlights.

Thursday, already! Wow the week went fast. We took the boys to Bloomsbury Farm near Atkins before heading to Milwaukee where we met up with Brent, April and Cam. Bloomsbury was lots of fun with so many activities.
After a 4 hour drive to Milwaukee the boys were re-united with mom and dad. So many stories to tell. We met at a Mexican restaurant near the neighborhood where they lived while Brent was in law school at Marquette. The boys will spend a couple days in Milwaukee before they head home to Brownsburg.

Cam, you can join Fall break at papa and nana's house in a few years! |
What a fantastic week with Cade and Kasen. I hope that we made lots of memories and that we can do fall break together again next year.
