But then Ben ran out of andydrous tanks and couldn't get more tanks until Tuesday because of the holiday weekend. So we decided to make a quick trip to Washington for my niece's 3rd birthday party and put flowers on my moms gravestone.
When we got back from Washington we just worked around the house, planted the garden, mowed, etc.
On Thursday, Jenn and the kids came up to visit. It was a blast. Jenn and I got to chat and the kids were able to play together all day. I know Ryan's favorite part was the mud fun.
Poor Maddy!
We had beautiful weather on Friday. So we spent most of the day outside. In the morning we went to Moore Memorial Park in Ames with our playgroup. Stayed a couple of hours. Ryan brought his bike along to the park. It is hard to ride it around the farm because everything is gravel and grass. So he took advantage of the paved paths in the park.

Friday night Ben, Ryan and I headed over to Maxwell for a fundraising fun night that a group of moms were hosting. They had inflatables and food. Ryan had a great time. We just enjoyed spending the evening outside with the Travis family.

Anna first introduced us to these jumbo hot dogs at her boys birthday party last year. The moms group were serving them at the fundraiser. I am not a big hot dog fan but these are so yummy! We have to buy some for ourselves this year. You can get them at Golly's Meat Locker in Maxwell. As you can tell, Ryan loves them also.
Had our first "campfire" last night. I wish we were really camping but we settled for a fire at Ben's parents house. We roasted hot dogs ( not the yummy ones) and had smores. Here is Ry watching the fire. Something neat to do...take a piece of copper piping and stuff it with stripes of hose (like a garden hose - we had a ruined one from last year - hit it with the mower). Place it in the fire and it makes cool looking colors in the fire.
