Iowa Trip (Days 9-10)

DAY 9
Well, it was time for us to head home again. We had a great time visiting with Tim's parents and seeing lots of amazing things.

Tim and his mom!
Eli with his first car surprise - a hotwheels car!

Taking a break to run around at a rest stop. It was a beautiful field with corn rows in the background.

Ethan with another car surprise - a dustpan and broom - they actually loved this surprise!
DAY 10
On the way home, we got pulled over by a policeman for speeding - oops! Ethan saved the day, however. Ethan rolled down his window in the backseat when the policeman came to the car.
Ethan: "Hello Mr. Policeman. How are you? Would you like a rice krispy treat?"
Ethan was very polite and friendly. The cop then asked if we were on vacation and where we had been, etc. He went back to his car and came back with a warning for us. Thanks to Ethan and his good manners and sharing we got out of a speeding ticket!! What a great ending to our awesome family vacation!!
