Ames Weekend

Or day... we were just there for the day last Saturday. Andrew's family (most of us) gathered in Ames last weekend to visit Dan and Anna and to celebrate birthdays. We woke up early and made it to Ames by 10 am. We did a little thrift shopping, ate a greasy lunch, and came back to the hotel for a little down time. Here is one of the purchases Ollie got. It's a little big but he will be able to wear it soon enough!

One exciting surprise is that Abby got to fly back for the weekend! It was so great to get to spend the day with her! Here are the girls and some of the purchases :)
Then we headed out to buy Dad his birthday shoes and see Dan and Anna's cute apartment. Here is sweet little Kathryn.
Before we went back to the hotel for pizza and birthday celebrations, we stopped in to see our friends, Joel and Tori, and their little boy and new sweet baby girl. It was so fun to hold a tiny baby again. Thanks for letting us stop by guys... next time it will be longer! :)
Back at the hotel we celebrated while the kids swam (Ollie didn't get to). Here are the birthday boys.
Anna entertained Ollie so well, thanks Anna!
Our sweet little boy. He was such a trooper all day.
Singing Happy Birthday before we sped back home.
It was a short trip but well worth it! It was so fun hanging out with family we don't get to see too often. We missed you Ben, Sherry, Kevin, Melissa, kids, and AJ! We love you all!
