MY NIKKEL'S WORTH: Fun week...

Seems like we have been running nonstop all week, but thats ok. I'll work my way backwards with the photos. Tonight Darcy met us in Ames at a park and we ordered Great Plains Pizza and ate in the park. What a much better way to sit with kids, then waiting in their restaurant for 45 minutes for our pizza! AND it was perfect weather to be outdoors!!!

Course I was never pushing him high enough

Mason doesn't know a stranger, and tonight was no exception. He latched on to Sosia (pronounced So-Sha) who was the cutest little 3 year old. She is from Poland, hence the unusual name. Her mother said she only learned English after moving here a few months ago, and I would have never of guessed, as she was almost speaking better then Mason did at 3!!!

Earlier in the day, we went to see the Largest running Steam Engine that was in the area. That was quite the sight. Wish I would of had my video camera on to get the full effect, as the picture just doesn't do the sound/atmosphere justice. Here is a link to some more info on it while it was in the area Steam Locomotive

While at the farm this past weekend, Mason was playing with his little cars/tractors/Bob the Builder die cast toys. He really likes them organized...

Yep, Darcy turned the big 3-0 on Tuesday, but we had cake and ice cream while visiting her Sunday.
Mason had to put some 'cows' on the cake. He really wanted to cover the cake in them, but Granny told him that DD didn't want a cow cake!!!

Monarchs must be on the move, as there were hundreds of them flying around the farm
