4th of July and other things...

We are back from our trip to MN, and are actually heading out tomorrow for the UP of Michigan with a youth trip. Jack and I are braving the bus with the other kids, so this should be entertaining. We (Jack and I) won't be back to Iowa until August 10th so we'll be gone a month. It should be fun...Steve will be with us for the first week and then the last week, so I'm sure we'll miss him.

Here are some pictures to capture what we did in MN:

The water was freezing cold....62 degrees!

Jack loved to follow "Knuckles" everywhere!

Jack also went to Ely to spend the day with Grandpa and Grandma Stepec and Great-grandpa and great-grandma Stepec....lots of fun!

Jack loved to drive the boat when it was in the boathouse, but not when we were on the lake because he didn't want Boppa to steer with him...Mr.Independent that's for sure!
