Iowa

After the wedding we traveled up to Buffalo Center and spent a few days there.  BC is the town where Steve was born and graduated high school.  He spent most of his growing up years in Colorado.  BC is very unlike anything we see here in the East.  It's a very small town and runs at a different pace of life. It's always fun to return for a visit.

My lovely sisters-in-law

And my lovely mother-in-law

We spent a day at Steve's grandparents farm.  Morgan was thrilled to drive this Gator!  Claudia even got to drive the van on the back lane.  She was pretty excited about that!!

Power couple

These 2 are the cutest!

And once again the boys were extremely uncooperative for a group shot!  It's like they talk before the picture and agree to both have a fit.

Steve and I used to attend this church when we were first married.  It is now deserted and run down.

Morgan was so thrilled to have a cousin her age.  Grace is actually Steve's cousin, but it's close enough!!

These windmills have taken over in the fields in Iowa.  Steve doesn't like them, he thinks they take away from the natural beauty.  I think they are cool.
