Des Moines trip

We have some friends who live in Des Moines and it was about time for us to meet up with Uncle Clayt for a visit. So we met him in Des Moines for the night. 

We stayed the night with the Katzenbach's and their THREE border collies. 

Saturday we had an easy morning and then went to the science museum with Uncle Clayt.

Ice cream for this girl.

Emma was in love with this high chair. She doesn't even sit in a high chair at home, but she was a huge fan. haha.

Carly said "mom look! both hands!"
Like Father like daughter

Jeremy petting the dogs with both hands. haha

When we asked Carly if she was ready to go to the museum, she told us that we could go ahead and that she would stay at the house with the dogs and throw the ball. haha

It took Emma a bit to warm up, but as soon as she did she was all over Buddy and loved throwing the ball.

Heidi was having trouble with keeping her fish healthy, so Carly helped pick out a new gold fish "Cutie" so the sick fish wouldn't be lonely in a different tank.

Uncle Clayt is always fun to have around! Both girls are on his back and then he would throw them onto the couch. As soon as he threw them onto the couch, again! again!!

The science museum had bubbles! Emma loves bubbles.

Fun in some water.

Emma trying to get the ball, she even found a little stool to help.

Balls! There was a whole Ball Wall.

Emma would collect as many as she could carry and then put them in that yellow basket and watch them shoot up.

The thing in the middle spins, and you try and get the donut looking things to spin on the center piece. We were trying for a few minutes, this guy comes and sits down and does it his first try! haha
The lighting in this room is weird because it was really dark with blue lights.

Carly loves trains. It was perfect. Carly was playing with the train set and Emma was over with the Ball Wall.

Our weather girl!

The girls got to drive these little robots. They actually did a really good job! 

These girls love their Uncle Clayt.
They were sad to say good bye. 

Jeremy climbed in the back seat and passed out while the girls were asleep. Made for a nice peaceful hour and a half drive to Costco! 

The BEST traveler.
She took her shoes and socks off and was saying "how are you?" with her sock puppet. haha

I was so glad that we got to spend some time in Des Moines with Uncle Clayt. And the Katzenbach's were so nice to let us stay in their house. Carly is counting down until we will go back and see Max and Buddy and Molly again. haha
