Joe and Sam come to visit

We have just finished off the summer with a visit of Joe and Sam.  All 6 of the grandchildren came and spent some time with Grandma and Grandpa Buck this year.  These two are becoming so grown up that it is a much different visit than it used to be.  It is like having a couple of young adults around.   We had a great week, the weather cooperated and we were able to spend some time outside.  We spent some of our time riding bikes, driving grandma's car, shopping and watching the movie (Arthur),  going our to lunch at Taco Tico and going to dinner at Mineral City and having ice cream at the Dairette.

The new things that we did this year were to go miniture golfing (I think they gave Grandma and Grandpa the advantage!).  What fun - we played 36 holes at His and Hers golf course in Fort Dodge. 

Friday morning we headed to The Iowa State Fair.  We spent the day wandering around and then met Cindy and Craig and the girls in the evening for the Nada's concert.  Some of the highlights of the day for me were that I met and shook hands with both Sarah Palin and Shawn Hannity from Fox News.

Did I say the boys got haircuts in Moorland?  I think they were both a little nervous but left happy with Jodi's job.
