I-O-W-A 2022 Edition Week #1

We are back in Iowa!  

Babi and Pops met us at the airport in Cedar Rapids and we headed right to the softball fields to watch Bailey in her last regular season game

 

One of the many things I love about summer trips to Iowa is morning walks with Sally.  Jet lag had us hitting the trails bright and early.

All the Kasparek girls got a pedicure

Game night

Susy invited us out on her boat Wednesday.  It was a gorgeous day on Lake McBride!

Camden tested out some new golf clubs

That's a Wrap! School Year 2021-2022

We made it!!! This school year was almost as crazy as the Covid 2020-2021 year.  I am THRILLED that we got to have all 3 sports seasons and school stayed open for business all year long.

On June 2, we celebrated the NMHS Class of 2022.
