Weekend Trip to SWIA

On the first weekend in October we drove down to my hometown (Clarinda). Saturday morning we bundled up and went to watch the 3-hour Southwest Iowa Band Jamboree Parade on the Clarinda town square. Lots of bands and lots of chilly wind. Adam ended up taking Tyler back to my grandparent's house early to warm up and I stayed to watch the parade, ate at the new Runza restaurant in town, and met up with family for a trip to the apple orchard and a hike at Waubonsie State Park. Adam and Tyler stayed home to catch up on some much-needed rest!

When I got back from the park, I snapped these pictures of Tyler's fun ride with Dad and Great-uncle Lyle on the combine harvesting soybeans. It was the FIRST combine ride for both Tyler AND his dad!! Tyler really liked watching the combine unload into the wagons!Saturday evening we were invited over to my Aunt Mary's near Red Oak for some Stephens fall family fun! We went on a hayride, roasted hot dogs, played cards, listened on the radio to the ISU Football team win, and Tyler played, and played, and played with his second cousins.

On Sunday Tyler and cousin Kelsey enjoyed the nice weather by playing in Great-grandma's yard.
