When family comes to visit, how do we entertain them?
We taught the kids about catching fireflies at dusk.
We stored them in a small bottle that James found on a walk. Grandma tried to help us keep them alive by feeding them taco meat. They didn't survive long after that. 
We took many walks over the pedestrian bridge near our apartment. This picture shows the Iowa River in Coralville on June 10th, much higher than normal.
Preparing for a walk along the path at the Mormon Handcart Park.
Fighting off gnats along the trail.
Later that day we celebrated Paul's birthday at the Cedar Rapids' Kernels game. The Kernels are the single A team affiliated with the L.A. Angels.
James and Paul after opening gifts.
Garrett and Pierce sure loved Mr Shucks. 
Especially his tongue!
A day or two later in Illinois. You can't make a trip all the way to the Midwest without visiting beautiful Nauvoo.

James during the show, wishing he was catching fireflies instead of watching dancers.
Certainly not least, Matt's graduation. Congratulations Matt! We are so proud of you!

Congrats to Matt for graduating! Looks like a fun visit. I love the picture of the Iowa river. Beautiful!
Matt and Leticia,
You didn't mention that it was a rum bottle, not just any old bottle. And they found it when their parents were not supervising, their aunt and uncle were. Just kidding!(And grandma was mainly in charge, and encouraged keeping it so she could secretly feed it the ground beef.
