August 13

Highlights from today:

• Audrey and I spent nearly an hour at the Keokuk mall this morning. If you've ever been to the Keokuk mall, you know this is a pretty impressive feat. Audrey thought it was great though. I let her run around and push her stroller all over the mall. We don't ever get to do that at our mall because it's too crowded. I'm pretty sure the word crowded has never been used to describe the Keokuk mall.


• Audrey finally got to wear her "hoo-toot" (swimsuit) today. She was SO excited to put it on, and then we went to the pool with Heidi and her kids. We were at the pool for about 20 minutes when a nasty thunderstorm blew in out of nowhere, so we had to leave (Seriously, we have horrible luck with swimming outings). But Audrey still thought it was fun, and she's been talking about her "Hoo-toot" and Heidi, Aubrey, Jackson and Libby all day.


• Great-Grandpa and Grandma, Uncle Seth and Aunt Elisabeth came over for a little visit tonight.
