What a grand weekend we had in Des Moines...a little rain and wind did not stop us from hugging, laughing, playing games and "doing crafts". This photo was taken at the very nice botanic gardens in Des Moines. We lucked out because the "gardens" had some special activities on the Saturday we visited. There were instruments to play while singing along to favorite songs. There were balloon flowers and a few animals to admire. All in all a perfect afternoon topped off by a tasty lunch at Fudruckers--Sara's choice. We all enjoyed the yummy milkshakes. Thanks to the Houghtons for a wonderful visit. We are always well cared for when we stay at their lovely home!!
