Gladbrook, Iowa June 20 - July 1, 2010

Left Gladbrook for a weekend to attend David and Karin's wedding.

Staying at Mavis' (Kirk's mom).
Damon helping Grandpa Kirk spread dirt in Grandma Mavis' backyard.











Corn Carnival is a huge deal in Gladbrook and also for all surrounding areas. We arrived in Gladbook at Kirk's mom's house on Sunday the 20th. She lives in this 2-story, 100 + year old house all by herself. Heather and her son, Damon (grandson) who is 5 years old came to visit early in the week. I was able to convince Damon to spend the night in the RV with us. He had a great time. Lily totally enjoyed having someone to sleep with. The next morning, Damon and Papa Kirk worked in the yard. Damon really enjoyed doing things with his Papa. All of Kirk's family, except for Craig were at his mom's for the weekend. Bev and her fiance, Al; Gena and her kids and a couple of her grandkids; Heather and Damon. There was a parade on Friday night and the family ALWAYS sits in the same spot every year. It was also good to see Dan and Amy, some very good friends of ours that also live in Gladbrook. Saturday of that same week, Kirk and I flew into San Antonio for Karin and David's wedding. What an awesome wedding! We drove our car back to Gladbrook and stayed a couple of days and then left for Ben and Nicki's in Wisconsin.
