July 5th
Today was another Daddy & Zach day. Leaving in the morning for work while they are still snuggling in bed is HARD! They slept in, met me for lunch, went to Target, had a nap, and then went with Grandma & Papa to see the new Spiderman movie. Zach LOVED it and told me all about it when I got home. At Target Chris bought Zach the Gotham City Jail, which brings our superhero house count up to 5. We got them all out and made a city and had fun playing together. At least he gets a lot of use out of all of these superhero toys. I hope he never outgrows this stage of good guys vs bad guys.

Tonight we celebrated Craig's birthday. Happy Birthday Papa P! Zach really enjoyed Grandma's chocolate cake! After dinner, the boys (plus Grandma) went swimming. Noah showed off his awesome jumping skills. Later we went to see the Prairie Meadows fireworks. We sat next to a corn field and had a great time! We noticed the moon peaking out from behind the corn and knew we had to take a picture for my dad. He LOVES the moon and didn't come with us because he had to work on July 4th! How un-American is that?!?
July 2nd
Karen is off all of this week on vacation, so Chris took the week off to spend with Zach. I decided to take Monday off as well and go to Adventureland. We had never taken Zach before, so I wasn't sure what to expect, but we all had a blast! He rode so many rides, including the Galleon, the Log Ride, the Raging River, and the Bumper Cars. It was a HOT day, but we got DRENCHED on the Raging River so that helped. We lasted until 5:30, but Chris had to carry Zach out. Having run is hard work!

Zach and I celebrated the first day of July with another day on the boat. This time we got out the towable, which Zach nicknamed Flash since it is red and yellow and goes fast. We did have a minor incident. In the middle of the lake, we hit a bump and Zach and I went flying off the tube. I held on to him (and my sunglasses) and we floated to the surface. Zach's first words were "Where is Kyle? Is Kyle ok?" I was sort of glad it happened so Zach knows that falling off can happen and that there is no reason to panic while wearing a life jacket. He sure does love the water, and it's a great place to be when it is 90+ degrees out!

Saturday night we went to the Good Guys fireworks at the fairgrounds. Mimi & Papa went too and so did Grandma...although I got no pictures of anyone but Zach. He had fun with his first ever sparklers, and standing in Mimi's moon roof!

Sunday Zach & I went boating with my family while Chris taught a motorcycle class at Big Barn. Zach is getting braver and braver and this week conquered running and jumping off the boat into the deep water. He had so much fun and wanted to do it over and over and over...

Saturday was Collins Day. We went to the parade in the morning and Zach sat on tractors, played with animals in the petting zoo, ate lunch, bounced in the bounce house, got balloon swords, and had fun with family. The highlight for me was the children's tractor pull. My son is the 2012 Collins Days Tractor Pull Champion for 3 and under! He pulled 11 feet and got a trophy. He was so proud of himself, and I couldn't stop smiling! I love living in Iowa!
