the Great's

Today we headed to Iowa to visit Great Grandpa Dick for a few hours. We got to have some pizza lunch together and visit. He got the kids an awesome remote controlled tractor. The kids had a blast with it, driving it over each other especially. And it wouldn't be an Iowa trip without the marble game.

Great Grandpa Dick and the kids... 

 Papa, Rowan and Kieran

When we were done in IA, it was back in the car to head to Moline. We checked into the hotel and then headed to Uncle Ted's retirement party. He retired from Chief of the Fire Department, so there was a fire truck there with some men visiting. So Ted showed the kids the truck. Eddie was shy and wouldn't put the helmet on, so Papa did it instead.

Most of the Smith Family was there, so we got to see Great Papa too.

After the retirement party we headed to Ed's cousins Don and Kelly's house to see their addition and visit for a few more hours with the family. Then it was back to the hotel to sleep before another busy day tomorrow.
