Happy Birthday Grandpa!

Today we went to Ames to celebrate Grandpa's birthday. First we had lunch at Hickory Park and then we went to Reiman Gardens. The kids had a great time looking atall of the butterflies and everything else there was to see there. And luckily the rain ended just in time so that we could see everything there was to see outside.
Here's Grandpa and Grandma with all of the grandkids (for now...the fourth grandchild will be added in two weeks!)
The happy family of three--soon to be four.
Camden and Emmett thought the water was great!
Especially these frogs that squired water out of their mouths!!
Camden and Daddy were looking for fishies in the pond. They spotted a few goldfish swimming around!
Two...make that FOUR thumbs up from Camden and Emmett!
Ella and Grandma were just happy to be outside.
There were lots of places for little kids (and dads) to explore.
Emmett and Camden got to dig for dinosaur bones as part of the dinosaur dispaly.
And Grandma gave the kids pennies to throw into the fountain.
The last place we stopped before we left was the butterfly garden. There were lots and lots of pretty butterflies. Camden and Emmett were intently studying the butterfly display before seeing the butterflies.
By the time we left, we had three very sleepy children.
