Where has August gone?!

Well, we've been gone part of every week in August, so not much time to update the blog! I'll try and start to catch up though........the second week of August we went camping at a local state park. We rent a cabin that has electricity, a/c, a mini fridge and a microwave :) Not really roughing it, but with a little one around, life's rough enough ;) Besides, August in Iowa can get awfully hot and humid, so it's nice to have some a/c for Mieka's sake, if not ours. My brother Chris from MN joined us and we had a really nice time grilling, making camp fires, boating, hiking and playing at the beach. The weather was really nice, except for a few rain showers. Best of all, NO bugs! Here are a few pictures:
