Des Moines


 We decided to take a weekend trip to Des Moines to visit our friends the Wadsworths.  They use to live in our neighborhood here and we became good friends.  Brayden and Makenna have missed their friends Bryan and Emily and it was great to have them back together for a weekend.  The first day we were there we visited the Adventureland amusement park.  It rained on and off but was otherwise a perfect day.  Everyone had a blast.
On the first ride of the day Emmitt was not so sure.. but it didn't take long for him to warm up to it and enthusiastically ride every ride he could.


 These soaking wet girls rode the Log Ride 6 times in the pouring rain.  They wouldve kept going all day but the park was closing.  On the last round Makenna begged to go just one more time claiming she still had one spot on her that was dry!  Silly girls.







The next day we visited the Des Moines Farmers Market.  It is quite the event.  We had a great time seeing the sights and sampling the snacks.  Here the kids are eating ice cream sandwiches.



 
Megan and Lisa.  Wonderful Hosts.
Brielle and Makenna. Sweet Sisters.
Brayden and Bryan.  Buddies.
Later that day the kids went swimming and then Megan babysat while the grown ups went out for dinner.  We got to join them for church the next day before heading home.  It was a fun weekend.
