Iowa

 Jon had a conference in Storm Lake Iowa, so the boys and I enjoyed a nice break from ND with Grandpa and Grandma and Jon enjoyed his conference.  I am sorry about the picture quality, I forgot to charge the camera before we left so all of the pictures were taken with my phone.

 

 We went to visit Amish Country to purchase some flour and "yellow cookies" for James.  Every place we stopped at had a few animals outside and James enjoyed playing with them.

 Uncle David and Aunt Marilyn came up for a long weekend, it was good to see them and they were able to meet Michael.  James might go down and visit Uncle David so that he can learn how to use the potty, the dates for that are still being worked on :)

 James was so excited about all of the toys that Grandpa and Grandma had that he did not want to go trick or treating, and he did not really want to play outside.   I was really surprised by that, and the first thing he said in the morning was "play with cars, trucks". 

 Michael did not understand that he needed to build a bridge and not eat it.

 The boys were very excited to see Jon when he came back from Storm Lake.
