Fun in Iowa

As Chatterbox has been saying, "Today was a fun day!!!". We didn't really have a plan for the day, besides taking care of 'business'. There's a lake not even 2 miles from our house called Saylorville Lake so I suggested we check it out. There is so much there I'm sure we didn't even see half of it. And the water level is way high so I think parts of it are closed. But we had fun hiking on some trails and playing in the woods. Zach wanted to canoe so we then drove to Big Creek State Park and rented a canoe and paddle boat. The park was free to get into and the rentals were so cheap! We had so much fun! These lakes are beautiful and there seems like a lot to do at them all, from swimming to horseback riding to camping to picnicking! It is nice to live somewhere where there are things to do outdoors (and where you don't sweat unreasonably while doing it). I can't wait to do more exploring of it all!

Wow, things are moving along quickly for you to move into your new home. I am so glad everything is getting done!
It sounds like you had a great weekend relaxing and playing with the kids. We can't wait for our time to move! There isn't much we like about Mississippi...

How fun to go canoeing! We haven't done that in quite a while! It's neat that you've found some places you'd like to explore more and things you like to do there already.

Good luck with the closing tomorrow...I hope all goes well with no snags!
