Family Fun!

Emme's home!! She was gone ALL :) weekend, visiting my family! We left on Friday afternoon, and met my Mom half-way in Ft. Dodge. It sounds like they had a pretty fun weekend :) swimming, playing, and meeting Aunt Nikki for supper at Rudys' Taco's. Yum!! She told my Mom today while packing.. "ya know Nana, I do have extra outfits. I could stay for a few more days!!" I think my Mom quickly replied, "I don't think so Em, I have to go back to work tomorrow!"

So.. When we picked her up in Ft. Dodge today, we were met with HORRIBLE weather. We had to stop because the rain was coming down so hard, plus hail, plus lots of debris from the wind. I called my Mom to make sure that they were O.K., and they were stuck in Slumberland! She said the wind was blowing so hard, the roof was moving! The lights were flickering on and off, and the employees were all panicking running to the bathroom! She said after it stopped raining so hard they had to get a shop vac out and suck-up some of the rain that blew in under the door!! My sister Nikki called when we were about home making sure that we were O.K., b/c she said they were reporting tornadic activity in the area, and that even worse storms were to blow through! But, we made it home alright!

When we got to Cherokee, the sun was shining, and there was no sign of having any rain at all! After supper, we decided to take a walk and let Em ride her bike. Here are some pictures of our weekend! We hope everyone else had a fun weekend too!
