Livi with the roller skates she got with the money from Laura and Clay. She said, "Thank you so much, this is the best present I ever had." After she fell on her but she wasn't quite as happy but she got up and kept trying.
Livi and Alex with the bear and monkey they got at Build a Bear from Lance and Rachel. What a cute gift! They had so much fun choosing their animals. Alex has a monkey named Mr. Banana Jr. and Livi has a bear named Mr. Princess (that is not a typo. she did say Mr. Princess) Mr. Banana is also holding the video game Alex got from Laura and Clay. He loves it.

The family tailgating outside the stadium before the game. We had a great trip. The weather was awesome and the kids were great.

Olivia and Jon playing football while tailgating before the game. She's quite the football player.

Gary Dolphin posing with Jon at the Hawkeye Huddle.
Alex showing off all of the beads he got at the parade. I still can't figure out how to get these pictures to go vertically.

Herky stopped to pose with some of his favorite fans at the Hawkeye Huddle the night before the game.

Alex posing on the rocks near the beach by our hotel. Isn't he cute?
Olivia thought she would make sand angels. She loved the beach.
Alex feeding the seagulls off the dolphin boat.

Jon is very proud of taking this picture. He thinks he is as good as Angie now. This was the view from our room at night.
