This past weekend, we were in Cedar Rapids for Andrew's baseball tournament. It was like a mini-vacation, watched some baseball, I saw some friends from my college days, ate out several times, and I only had Ruth me, which was so easy! We also visited with Phil's Uncle Mark. Actually, Ruth and I stayed with him while Phil and Andrew stayed at the hotel. Here are a few pictures from our weekend.

While we were over in eastern Iowa, Ruth and I headed to Blue Grass for a college reunion/pool party with my friends. The boys stayed back since they had another game.

Since Phil and I drove over to CR separately, I took this time to visit my cooperating teacher from student teaching, Michelle. I know I've seen her once since I left her classroom, but it had been about 15 years. We've kept in touch after all of these years with our Christmas cards. We'd both say we'd visit but it just never happened. She is still teaching in the same school, same grade, and lives in the same home I remembered. Ruth had fun playing with her grandson, playing with some Barbies, and riding in the Gator around her property, which is the county side. Michelle and I had a great visit, and am so glad I stopped by.
