A Visit from Grandma & Grandpa

Mom and Dad Fluhman came out last Saturday to visit us in Iowa! We had SO much fun. Dad's dream is to be on a working farm surrounded by cattle and corn, so Iowa was a perfect vacation. We had 6 full days of shopping, playing, and lots of eating. I think we are all going to have to go through detox for a week or two. Natali loved having Grandma & Grandpa here. Every morning she woke up and asked for them and loved all the attention. She was spoiled by her grandparents and loved all the action of the week. The girl likes to be on the go. We took Mom & Dad to some of our Des Moines favorites. We went to Valley Junction for antique shopping and then later in the week for the Farmer's Market. We drove up to Ames and gave them the Hickory Park experience (great BBQ). We went to several malls to stay cool in the air conditioning and had some Bauder's ice cream. Like I said earlier...lot's of eating. It was quite the adjustment from the dry Utah heat to our Midwest humidity. We took it nice and easy most days. Plus the fact that I am about a week away from having the baby ( I am moving rather slowly and gingerly). We gave them the tour of Ben's school and we even got to drive them buy our cute little house in Valley Junction that we will be moving into at the end of September (still renting...but at least it is a house!). It was such a treat to have them here with us, especially for how long they were able to stay. We loved every minute!!!
