 Iowa trip!

Featuring Grandma Patti, Grandpa Jeff, Great Grandma Margaret, Great Grandpa David, Aunt Amanda, Uncle Justin, and "The Cousins" as Noah calls them: Charles, James, Lucy, Nora, Tessa, Max, Isi, Bernadette, and Baby Helen

Great Grandma Margaret and Great Grandpa David got a hotel in Fairfield, so we all got to go swimming!
The kids loved it
Mo and Bernadette!
Mo stayed reading with Great Grandma Margaret for a very long time. 
Noah started swimming by herself with just her floaties!
Mo tried out floaties, too!

Mo, Grandma Patti, and Isi

We let Noah and Mo put their feet in the hot tub and told them they can't go all the way in until they're 5. Noah said she wanted to stay right there until she turns 5 so then she can get in!
Mo said this picture was "Mama"

At the library, playing with puppets!

At the Children's Museum in Coralville, Iowa
Mo crashed on the way home
Playing in the dirt with cousins
Noah working on her scrapbook
Mo, Bernadette, and Helen watching a bunny in the back yard
Dying Easter eggs!
Aren't they pretty?
Mo found this mouse at the grandparents and took it for a walk
Out for a walk
Here's Noah playing in the yard. The reason she's not in so many pictures with Mo is because she was out in the yard playing, often with a cousin or three.
All the cousins with Grandma Patti and Grandpa Jeff!
