Friday before the sun was even considering shinning it's light we were headed to the airport on our way to Iowa to visit the Bernards and watch another BYU football game.
Greg met us in Des Moines with the rental car (he was coming from another work trip) and we stoped at Windsor for window plant tour. The girls loved learning about windows and the Dr. Pepper they got afterwards for our drive to Ames.
Phoebe and the girls jumped right into fun with just dance, aerial silks, and playing with Louie.
Grandma and Grandpa Dame arrived later that evening with Rachel and we all enjoyed chatting before bed.
The next morning we took Louie out on a walk in a lovely forested area. The Bernards were happy to let Louie run Emily up and down the trails.
Then we got our layers on and headed to the game.
The Iowa State fans were so kind, several of them stopping us on our walk and wishing us a great stay in Ames. One group of tailgaters even let the girls have some donuts.
Phoebe represented for the Iowa State fans around us and they would high five her whenever their team was doing well - which was most of the first quarter. But after halftime we dominated and the Cougars ended on top.
Then we walked back to our car but Grandma, Grandpa, Laura and Anson weren't back yet (their seats weren't by ours) so the girls played in the backyard of a home that Aaron owns but doesn't live in right now (we used the driveway for free parking).
They smashed several mushrooms of this size or larger.
And this outdoor tree house was begging for a photo shoot.
Sunday morning we went to church, played some games and played with the animals before heading to the airport.
Another fun weekend with cousins thanks to BYU being in the Big 12!
