Hard Time.....

As we know in this world we are all very much connected to our phones. It seems like every where we go we always have our phones with us and have them out using them.  I got this idea off Pinterest, we all know we love Pintrest! To have a phone jail! I got mine at Michaels. I got a larger one so when we have family over their phones will be placed in "jail" as well. So far tonight it seems as though Kevin and I have been spending more time communicating and working on things together then playing candy crush and worrying about our phones! So family be where if we are home our phones are in Jail and if you come over they are doing some hard time!

Jail!

This is how our Jail looks.

State Fair.

If you are from Iowa you are well aware that we have the best state fair around. Something you wait all summer for that always comes right before school starts and is the basically the end of summer. On Friday, Kevin and I headed out to the fair to see what good food we can find and go see what fun we could see. The people are always great to look at!

Zoo Brew.

Tonight Darci and her man Ken invited us to join them at the zoo for a night out and drinks. We had SO much fun. It was filled with great memories and lots of laughs. I can't wait till we all hang out again!

Adventerland!!!

When Erin and I were younger we would go to this magical place called Adventerland every summer with out friends thanks to our parents and dad's work. Well this summer dad got me some tickets to Adventerland. Erin was coming home this weekend with Nick and Kevin and I has still not used them so we thought it would be fun all four of us to head out to the park for some fun. 

Kevin and I in line for our first ride! 

Nick and Erin, waiting.

Balloon Festival.

Tonight Kevin and I joined Dad and Melissa in Indiaola for the annual Balloon Festival and night glow. We had so much fun. When I was younger we used to attended but I had not been in a very long time. They had great live music and great fair like food to enjoy.

So recently my family has really gotten into feeding the birds. When we go down to Dad and Melissa's house I love sitting on the deck and watching the birds come up the bird feeder and helping my dad feed them. My sister then recently got a bird feeder as well. So I wanted to join and Kevin and I got our first bird feeder this week! However I am sad that as of yet we have not seen any birdies! I hope they will come soon! 

Me with the new bird feeder!
