Mother's Day weekend

After our field trip to the zoo, Steve and Avery

met Aubrey and I at the zoo in Des Moines and headed to 

Northwest Iowa for a quick weekend that would be jam-packed.

We made the drive quickly from Des Moines to Sioux City

and stopped to do some shopping.

Avery got my phone while we were in Scheels :)

We grabbed supper at Red Robin -- yummmmmm.

On Saturday morning, we had a bridal shower for Emily

at Ash's house.

Here's all the girl cousins with their dolls ready to party.

Bridal shower time!

Enjoying Aubrey's home-made card :)

Excited for her cow butter dish from us.

After the shower, we got to watch Gavin play soccer!

The girls prefered to color instead. 

Gavin's large cheering section (from both sides of the family)

Avery LOVED holding the kittens.

And Aubrey was forced to, but came around eventually.
