The weather the last two days has been incredible. I'll repeat that so you fully understand how I feel about this weather...IN-CRED-IBLE. I'd be happy to live somewhere that stayed in the 60's and 70's year round, but in Iowa we only really experience that kind of weather for two weeks between a humid summer and snow storms in the winter, so we have to take advantage of it while it lasts. We are lucky enough to live in a community that's pretty family focused, so there are always lots of activities to do with the kids. The local "historic village" (I will call it that because I really can't think of another name for it) holds hay-rack rides and bonfires every other Wednesday of the month, so we took the kids to the first one this week. Liam is obsessed with anything on wheels, so was all for the tractor ride. Eva and I stayed behind and took a little stroll through the community. It was a bit of a bumpy ride with the brick sidewalks, but she didn't seem to mind. I couldn't help but smile because her chubby little cheeks were bouncing with each bump as we walked. After the hay-rack ride, we went over to the bonfire and made some s'mores...yum. By the way, how clever is it to use fudge cookies to make the s'mores? Genius. It is really getting me tempted to buy my own portable fire pit so we can make bonfire style s'mores at home. I don't think Greg would mind if I came home with one...
