Sioux City

We took a long weekend and went down to Sioux City to visit all our friends we don't get to see enough.
We stayed with Mike and Melissa from Thursday night until Sunday and we had a pretty fun filled weekend. Friday was a great day so the boys played together outside almost all day. In the afternoon Mike, Chris and I went and golfed 9 holes. I shot a 50, which wasn't to bad for the first time out this year, and I didn't even loose my ball.
That night we went back to the Hames household. Chris and Abby brought their kids and Mike grilled up some of the biggest New York Strip steaks I've ever seen. Good God he's good at grilling.
So the kids were up 'till 10 or so playing that night in the backyard and had a great time together.
Saturday was rainy and cold so we went to the mall to have lunch and play in the Lewis and Clark play area. Chris and Abby had up over for a grill out and we ended up with a house full of kids. I don't know if Brayden could have had more fun. We tried to get all the kids together for a picture, and that went pretty well, we just couldn't get Ben in, but the rest at least looked at the camera when we asked. That night the boys and I went to Town House and One Eyed Jacks to play Big Buck Hunter and have some beers. Then we decided to go bowling for a little while.
On Sunday we went to Famous Dave's for lunch and then we took the kids to the Circus. Brayden and Adam slept through the first half, but woke up to see the second.
After that we went back to Mike and Melissa's to pack up, said our goodbyes, and drove the five hours back home. Man, what a long ride.
