It was a beautiful summer day (finally!!) here today in Iowa and we took advantage of it by spending a few hours hiking at Lime Creek Nature Center this afternoon. It felt good to get out and stretch the legs a bit and enjoy the day. We only saw about 6 people the whole time we were there and I have decided that I should change up my walking pattern from the neighborhood and just drive out there sometimes to walk –sure would be a lot prettier!! So that is my plan!!!

I am so happy that we finally have some nice summery weather—seems like a little thing but it has definitely been cooler than usual and dreary so seeing the sun for several days in a row has been wonderful. We even took in the BBQ Bash yesterday in the park which was great—-we had some good BBQ (not as good as NC BBQ but still pretty good), heard some bands playing and enjoyed the nice weather again. All in all hopefully a restful weekend for the hubby! We are getting very excited to go see Micah this weekend in Austin—it has been a long time since we have seen him (Christmas) and it will be great to see him, his new place and Austin! More pictures to come!!!
