Brad in Iowa

This weekend my brother Brad was able to come and stay with us. He flies into Chicago to work every once in a while, so this time he rented a car and drove out (about 3 hours) to see us!! We were very excited!! We took him to the arsenal museum. Here are some awesome pictures from it.
Brad with an awesome girl hat and manly coat. Emma dressed as a boy and Liam with a "hard" hat.
Liam looking all spiffy.
Emma being Emma
On Sunday we went to a park called Credit Island Park. It's pretty cool because it is a peninsula that stick out into the Mississippi river, so it's pretty much surrounded by water. It was so hot and humid there that you could actually see the water in the air. It looked and felt like when you get out of a hot shower. It was pretty crazy. While we were there we found a giant tank, so we took pictures by it. Awesome, I know. :)

It was so fun having Brad here! We hung out a lot, watched movies, Liam and Emma treated Brad like a jungle gym, went to parks, and just enjoyed each others company. It was way fun! Thanks for coming Brad!! We love/miss you already!
Side note-
I couldn't help but include this picture. It's mostly awesome!
Where else would you keep your sword/stick?
Excellent holster :)

Looks like you had fun :) I'm so glad Brad got to see you. I don't know why, but these pictures make it seem real that you live far away. Weird, I guess I was still thinking you were on a vacation or something. When we got together with your dads family they were all talking about where we were going next on a group trip, we just kept saying "that sounds fun, but we're going to Iowa." sometime (fairly soon, after a wedding of course -I hope:) we are coming to visit too.
ps- I think Liam is genius to find that great sword holding spot! xoxoxo
