My brother, sister-in-law, and nephew moved to Iowa at the beginning of August. My brother accepted a new job with much better pay. We decided to make the trek before I went back to work, knowing that if we didn't we probably wouldn't make it anytime soon. They live near Davenport and are only about 15 minutes from Moline Illinois. For those of you who don't know Moline is where the John Deere headquarters is. And for those of you who don't know Leland is an absolute John Deere nut, so the relocation of my brother's family couldn't have been to a better location!!!! We spent Friday touring tractors!! Leland couldn't have been any happier, he got to sit in lots of heavy equipment and of course his favorites the combine and an 8 wheeler. We had a great dinner at a local brewery (thanks for picking up the tab Shandy and Kristy!!). Saturday we spent some time at a pool/water park. I wasn't able to take any pictures at the pool however because no cameras were allowed. When I asked why I was told that some older gentlemen had been taking inappropriate pictures so no one was allowed to bring in a camera, which was a real bummer. Saturday evening we went to a small zoo in Illinois and then headed for dinner. Thursday and Sunday were spent in the car so not much exciting to report from those days, other than the kids did actually well in the car and we don't even have a dvd player!! All of us had a great time and we are looking forward to our next visit!!
