Living History Farms

We took a short vacation to Des Moines with our good friends the Hagemann's. Our first day was a trip to Living History Farms, an awesome dinner at Spaghetti Works (it was Monday, so kids ate free.....and we had 8 between us!), and a night of swimming and hanging at the hotel. Fun was had by all! I had debated about taking Cole, but was so glad I did. He loved every minute and was very good!

Tyler tried it, too!

We enjoyed an old fashioned root beer....yum!

Look at all those cub fans listening to a talk about how they made newspapers in the olden days.
