Mini vacation part 1

We took a long weekend (Fri-Mon) and went up for a much needed visit with Grandma and Grandpa Scherb! Before we got to their house in Rockwell we made a detour to visit the graves of Josh's grandparents in Waverly. While we were there we made a stop for lunch at Kids Kingdom! Oh this was fun! Just look at these cuties enjoying this great park. (massive amount of photo's WARNING)

We started off with the swings!

Mom its too bright!

oh your shadow makes it so much better!

new swing

Weeeeeee

look at that expression!

she has recently learned how to clap and practiced all weekend!

getting you!

Sister joined the fun

She is such a good big sister!

Kiara's turn

hhmmm

hey look its daddy!!!!

And after some good old fashion chase me all over the playground. We found this gem! The parallel bars were my specialty as a child! I had fun teaching Kiara some of the tricks I remember.

And then they became models for mommy!

this is what I got when I told her to strike a pose

this one reminds me of something you'd see in old Hollywood

silly girl

I loved all the angles of this place

 We found this great old stump, an even better place for them to be models!

I love how Kayla's little legs stick straight out

This one is my personal favorite of her from the trip

she also recently learned "So BIG"

I have a feeling we'll be making more tips to Waverly this summer on our way up to see the Scherbs. I don't know that we have a kids kingdom around Des Moines but personally this family wouldn't mind if one sprouted up soon.
