As most of you know We lost Andys Dad, Dan, To lung cancer August 14th. We had a service here that week but this last weekend we traveled along with Vicki, Melissa and her kids to Iowa for a Mass to honor his memory. Andy and i took this opportunity to spend some much need time with the kids and have a mini vaca. IT was such a great time. We love his family and enjoy spending time with them. We wish we could do it more often. While traveling with children can be stressful it has deffinatly gotten lot easier as the children get older. The were AWESOME!!!! We left at 9 wed night and got into dubuque at 5 thursday morning. Then we spent 20 hours sunday traveling back home and the kids we great the ENTIRE time. We couldnt have asked for any better. While in Dubuque we visited some of the houses where Andy grew up and Then we took the kids to the Field of dreams moie sight and to a great pumpkin patch. The weather was incredible. It was like Dan was smiling down on us from heaven saying i miss you but i love you and thank you for soming to honor me. This is deffinatly a trip that we will remember for ever.
FOr some reason it wont let me post any more pics right now so i will post more later today.
