Iowa Vacation

Ok, so we have been sweatin' in the heartland. So far we toured the downtown that was under 5 to 20+ feet of water just weeks ago. Hundreds of homes and businesses destroyed and are now being condemned or need to be gutted and remodelled. It gave us some perspective on the blessing we enjoy. There are people without both a home and a place to work.... devastating.

Mary and I spent 4 separate evenings getting together with old High School friends, the second night was her 25th High School Reunion (Class of '83). I didn't bring the camera (oops) so we are wating for her friends to email some photos. It was fun to meet her friends from before we met. Some real nice and friendly people.

We spent a fun day at Lake McBride. The photos are on Gillian's cell phone, so a slide show is forth coming.

Today we got "down on the farm". Weapon's training, hanging out with Uncle Joe, watching a Midwest thunder/rain storm roll in, and relaxing on the front porch. On the way home we stopped in at Cousin Donnie's and played with his pet racoon, raised from a baby.... cute. Kind of a cross between a cat and dog.

So, that is it for now.... 4 days left.... we will post more pics later.
Love Sean, Mary & Kids
