Trip to IOWA!

I know you have all been waiting to see and hear about the fun adventures we had on our trip to Iowa so I will let the pictures tell the story!
Cousin Trevor hanging on tight to Lexi so that she doesn't fall out
Three little monkeys going on a wagon ride (Cousins: Trystin, Lexi, Trevor)

Trevor, Trystin, and Alexis at the Blank Park Zoo in Des Moines.
Going for a train ride at the zoo (Mommy, Lexi, Aunt Jenny, Cousin Trystin).
Trystin and Lexi sitting by the flowers at the exit to the zoo.After the zoo, we went to meet Joey and Maddox. We had a nice walk with the kids and enjoyed some ice cream! Joey and Maddox are my friend Holly's two boys. Wish we were closer and could do that more often.Alexis and Great Grandma Laurel.Lexi's birthday party with Mommy's family. She enjoyed playing with Trystin's cool karaoke machine.Corn Fed Baby! Lexi had a lot of fun eating her first ear of sweet corn.Here is the birthday girl ready to rip into her presents!We didn't have to encourage her to eat this blue cupcake - she knew exactly what to do.
Making sure she doesn't miss any of the frosting!Nana Sandra and Grandpa Larry come to take me to lunch.On Monday, we went to Ames to visit my friend Andrea and her son Kevin. We had a nice visit and a great time at their park.Saying our goodbyes to Trevor and Trystin.Grandma Cindy rocking me to sleep my last night in Iowa.

(This was taken at the airport before we left - wish we would have got a nicer picture of the 4 of us but I didn't think of it earlier).
Waiting to board our plane - snuggled up with her Iowa pig.

Alexis and I had a wonderful trip to visit my family and friends. She was a great passenger on the plane. She got to meet and play with her cousins for the first time. Trevor and Trystin showed her all their fun little tricks. She even warmed up to Papa Tom 3 days before we left (so sorry I don't have a picture of the two of them playing). My family threw Alexis a birthday party and as you can tell she really enjoyed her cupcake.
