Bridal Shower and Family Hello

Today we went to Cedar Rapids for the day for Natalie and Brad's wedding shower. Before the shower we stopped at the cemetery. We got some great pictures... it was a beautiful day!

Ethan had a great time 'showing off' at the shower, and enjoyed eating cake and running around with distant cousins in the yard. It was great to see everyone again!


After the shower, Ethan burned off some energy at Grandma and Grandpa Estelle's house dancing and getting CRAZY. Grandpa didn't know we were coming so he was surprised to see us. Our last stop was pushing bedtime, but we were so glad we did stop. We haven't seen Great Grandma Schindler and Ron since last summer and it was great to visit for the short time we were there. Ethan got more treats (Chocolate Marshmallow Cookie) from Grandma and had fun playing with the magnets on the fridge... sorry Grandma about the tea pot! We left with some travel pals, and he slept all the way home.
