Our Iowa Adventure PART ONE

Hallie, Henry and Phoebe had the back of the van all organized and ready to go! The table was up, everyone had a blanket and pillow, their dsi's were charged, the movies were chosen . . . 


First stop: Cabella's in Owatonna, Minnesota Uncle Carl was on his way to Wisconsin so we thought it would be fun to meet him for a picnic lunch.

Second Stop: Clear Lake, Iowa


1.  Fort Custer Maze 
We drive past this every time we go to Missouri/Iowa and have never stopped.  It was a HOT day, but not too hot for a run through a maze! We made it through in less than 45 minutes (which is the average).

2.  The Buddy Holly Crash Site
The kids thought I was crazy, but they ended up thinking it was pretty cool! The glasses sit on the edge of the road, and then we walked into the field about a 1/4 of mile to the actual crash site. 

3. Clear Lake Public Beach
Hallie, Henry and Phoebe had a blast at the beach. We had another picnic for dinner and then to top of our day, an ice cream truck made a stop at the park! So fun to see all the kids running for ice cream!


We were on no schedule so it was fun to take our time and just enjoy the day!
