Quick trip to Iowa

My niece Marisa is headed to Brazil, Forteleza on a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  We wanted to see her before she left and hear her speak at church and wish her well.  So, we made a quick (12 hour) trip to see her and her family.  It's always fun to catch up and spend time with cousins.  Even though school had already begun, we decided to go. 

This was right before church. 

All the girls are so pretty and unique!  Marisa 19, Kayla 17, Tara 13, Emily 11 and Alayna 10.

Playing the card game "fast sundaes".....nothing like a little reverent competition to begin a Sunday morning!

Saturday night running around after showers.  It's never too late to be goofy!

If we couldn't find anyone, we'd just look outside to the trampoline!
