As I began reviewing these photos, I realized that the kids are in their swim suits in almost all of them. That pretty much sums up our days. We spent the 4th of July in Iowa visiting Jeritt's cousin, Daric, and his family, then boating on the river with Jill, Adam, Ava, and Reid. Despite some car trouble returning home (all is fine now), we had a fantastic trip! |
