Ugh...Iowa City!! We have 4 boxes left! So close...but again, so far!! We got home from Chicago late Sat. night and the kids arrived home 7:30 Sunday morning. We got ready to head to church and then left for Iowa City. Our plan was to get the last 4 boxes and end our day at the kids museum.
We drove to the Lake MacBride Nature Center to find 2 boxes. The kids loved seeing all of the raptors and finding fossils while enjoying the view of the lake. One of the boxes ended up being a bit of hike, but it was a beautiful day and the kids enjoyed finding caterpillars and leaves, among other things!
Kids checking out one of the owls.
Will - trying to encourage the caterpillar to climb into his hands. Maddie used her new spoon to hold it. 
Alex - showing off her new leaf collection. "I'm going to make a leaf book when I get home"
Will - using his "walking stick"
Both of the remaining boxes are on the bike bath in Iowa City so we headed down to the city to find the remaining one. Halfway there, we were informed of an accident by one of the youngsters....Great!! Pit stop to get that cleaned up and than another pit stop at Walmart to get a new outfit (fortunately, we had jammies to wear until we got the outfit purchased!). I got back into the van at 4:00. The museum closed at 6, so Matt & I decided to forego the boxes and head to the museum.
The museum was fun - but we were all tired...esp. Matt & I!! The kids ran circles around us. We ate at the food court and headed home, just in time to get the kids in bed and get unpacked from our weekend of going, going, going. Hopefully next time we head to Iowa City, we'll be able to mark those last 2 off our list!!
