Recap Of Our Iowa Trip + Low Key New Years

Happy first of the January! Anyone else feel crazy when that happens and a new year is already here? We had such a whirlwind of our last trip to Iowa last week that I wanted to recap, plus our super low key New Years plans!
Tuesday
Christmas Day was such a fun time for our little family that we knew we had to

Wednesday
Our little family packed up for a full day of fun! We brought the kids to an indoor water park in Dubuque called The Grand Harbor. We met up with some friends and their kids who we went to college with which was such a blast! All our kids loved the slide and even Landon got in the water for a little bit. ( PS- did you know chlorine really helps kids with eczema to dry it out? Landon's legs were SUPER smooth afterwards! I was actually was impressed)
After a few hours we took the kids back to get a nap in and wait for Zach's parents to come bring them back to their home, while the adults were able to get some quality time together. We went out to a delicious restaurant that had great beer tasting and food.

Thursday
We woke up early from our friends house and drove about an hour and a half to visit our friend Stephanie's sweet little boy who she had a few weeks prior. I forget how small these little ones are when they are first born! I loved some extra baby snuggles that's for sure! Zach and I ventured back out to drive to Cedar Rapids to visit our Iowa Crew for lunch and catch up. We try to get together once a year when we are back in town to see them so we were so happy a few could make it out! Afterwards we picked up our deer meat that Zach had purchased from his Deer Camp weekend earlier this month and came back to his parents house to enjoy a delicious dinner and get to bed early.
