Visit to Dow City

We went to Omaha this year for Thanksgiving but the day before we made the short hour drive to Dow City, Iowa to visit Jarod's grandma Estelle. The town is so tiny and I can never get over it but it is always fun to go and visit. Jacoby got a really cool train for Great Grandma Leinen and here he is telling her thank you and giving her hugs.

Then he had to play with it right under where everyone was trying to cook dinner but hey it kept him entertained.

When he was done with the train we hit up the old toy room where we found this large giraffe and we all know how much my child loves Giraffes and we also know how he has to ride neigh on everything so I wasn't surprised when the giraffe became his newest victim. And yes that is a soap opera in the back and I was surprised to find out that Uncle Phil follows his soap.

4 generations. Jacoby was so cooperative for this picture that the only way we could keep his hands out of his teething mouth was to do this. Oh well we got the shot.

There is not much to do in Dow City so even when it is absolutely freezing outside you hit the park that is a few feet from her house. We had a great time but Jacobes got soaked by going down the slide so when we got back we threw his pants and socks in the dryer and barrowed some of Estelle's. I love this look!

We had a great time and she kept us laughing. Seriously she is hysterical and has some pretty amazing one liners but the quote of the day was "He must have been a Cub's fan!!".
