Okoboji: Arnold's Park I






At Lake Okoboji, there was a kiddie amusement park in Arnold's Park. It was only $14/day for both girls to ride all the rides all day long. Sophia wasn't big enough for all of them, but most of them. She couldn't do the swings, the log ride, or the bumper cars. But, Ella did, and she loved them all.

Okoboji: Pirate's Cove Mini Golf






We tried the miniature golf thing with the girls. Warren and I had a lot of fun. (We actually tied.
) Ella and Sophia tried at first, then Ella got frustrated and quit and Sophia just got bored. At least we didn't have to pay for them anyway. :)

Vacation: Lake Okoboji, Iowa Camping




After two days in Lake City, we headed north to Lake Okoboji area. We got a great campsite at Emmerson Bay State Park. The best part was it was only $11/night! It was right near the lake. there were not a lot of mosquitoes, and We didn't get rained on. Thank you God!!!! These pics are from our site.

Rodeo Days Parade

Waiting for Candy. Ella kept yelling out "I'm waving. I'm waving." and Sophia kept saying "More canny pease."

Jumping with excitement.

At the rodeo with our friends the Batz's and some other friends of Warren's from high school.

Warren's reunion was a fun trip. It was nice to meet some of his friends and see some of them that I already knew. It was fun hearing stories too. :) We got rained on a little at the end of the family picnic and during the rodeo, but just briefly. It was still pretty fun.
