Grotto

Still in Iowa Pictures...We visited the Grotto with Kyle's sister Erin. The Grotto, the 8th wonder of the world according to Kyle, is a massive castle constructed of tiny rocks over many years by several Catholic priests.

 We went back to Illinois for a few days and gave some gifts from the Grotto to our friends. Here is Tami busting open their geode.

 We walked back to our house in the rain the 3 blocks away. I let Miles sit with Lauren. 

Sleeping baby!! I never want to forget these moments!!
