Is this Heaven? No, it's Iowa!

For those of you who don't know, the post title is a "Field of Dreams" reference. We made our trek to Iowa yesterday ... where they say spring has sprung (the kids keep marveling at the "dry" trees they are seeing everywhere). The trip went just fine. Tyler LOVED sitting in the real plane seat, without his carseat that is. He was Daddy's buddy on both flights.
Abby, a.k.a. our girl with wings (which was PERFECT for a day on the plane), and Tyler entertained themselves quite well both in the aiport and up in the air! Finally, we made it to Des Moines, where the grandparents were there to greet us with hugs and smiles! Abby and Tyler were anxious to get to the farm to see the animals, but we took our time, stopping in Indianola to see Great-Gram (Martha's mother) on the way. Don't worry ... it's Monday morning now, and both children have already been out to the barnyard to visit the cows and sheep. Pictures to come!
