Sioux City, IA & the Ice Cream Capital

Le Mars, IA - the Ice Cream Capital of the World

they say this place possibly has the best hot dogs ever... (I had a chicken salad)

A great hands on kids museum inside an art museum. We took Ella here last year, so we were excited to bring Ali & Ben this year.

Glowing Legos

Dan & Ella working on their self portraits...that's me in the purple

the men

This was at the Lewis & Clark Museum.  We went there last year, but it was a very interesting place, full of exhibits & displays so we knew A & B would appreciate the experience.

we actually got to see live buffalo...once during our day in Nebraska and again visiting our friends in Missouri

So sweet.
