Really, Iowa, you say? Yes!! We’ve switched gears and are heading west for our Park Family Vacation this year! It’s crazy hilly, thanks to once upon a time glaciers, and we’re excited to go on a paddleboat ride down the Mississippi, explore the Smithsonian affiliated National Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium, ride up the steepest narrow gauge funicular railway in the world (disclaimer: several others claim this as well) – the Fenelon Place Elevator, and just do some general wandering!  It’s also only 2.5 hours away, score!! We’re looking forward to exploring a new place and have some new experiences as a family.

Sometime this summer, we’ll head on over there and check it out. We’re excited!

In other news, Natalie transformed my cooling rack into a race track ramp and fashioned some vehicles from their Duplo blocks. I came downstairs and this is what I found! I love when they come up with stuff all on their own!!
