Fall in Iowa

We took a long weekend last week and traveled to West Branch. It was a great weekend with the Scott Family. The kids got in some bonding time with Grandma & Grandpa Scott and with their cousin's, Ryan, Adam & Evan. One of the highlights of the weekend was the O'Neil annual cider party. They have LOTS of apple trees, a great cider press and lots of willing neighbors to help (while drinking, of course). Jan, was kind enough to take come pictures of our family.
Here is the best of the group. Here is Miss Eleanor. She LOVED spending time with her boy cousins. Cousin, Ryan, who turned 13 while we were there is followed around by Eleanor on every visit. She thinks he is the greatest thing! And he is.
(Look at the dress....Doesn't every girl need an apple dress for a cider party?)
Here is Lucy Jane. Potty training is going really well. She is now on a big girl swing and loves to go HIGH!
Jimmy is getting so big and so much fun. He loved being outside!
Here is one of the fun pictures.
All done...
