Labor Day weekend

We made a trip to NW Iowa to visit family over Labor Day weekend.  Although it wasn't the smoothest trip back and forth, it was good to see people again.  Here are some highlights:

Lincoln was excited to check out the farm...


...especially the cows.


Emily enjoyed ribbon dancing,


and she LOVED getting rides on the Mule (I think they almost went through an entire tank of gas).


Austin got to mow the lawn on the big Dixon.


We celebrated my Grandpa Vander Kooi's 90th birthday with cookies & coffee after church. 
My sister posted a great tribute to him here.


Sweetness...


Lincoln did not appreciate taking pictures with Cousin Ryan in the lawn chair,


but he sure enjoyed playing with Ryan's Lion rider toy!


My sister also has great posts about Emily's early softball attempts, a sweet picture of Emily reading and a collection of classic Lincoln pictures.  There are (will be) videos in the September video player.
