Weekend in IC/CR

We headed to Iowa City and Cedar Rapids last week because Andrew had a state baseball tournament. It had been a LONG time since we all had been in Iowa City.  We took advantage of downtown IC, seeing some college friends and family too. 

We stopped at a mall outlet store before getting to Iowa City.  While the boys were in the Nike store, the girls wanted to ride the motorized toys.

I also visited another friend, Kristi, but didn't take pictures of us together:-(

Then it was off to CR to stay with Phil's Uncle Mark for a couple of nights.  We haven't been there in a REALLY long time.  The kids did great there being entertained by Mark's pool table, playing washers and we all enjoyed Mark's company too.  Failed to get a picture of Mark too.  He was a FABULOUS host for us.  We never left his table starving.  Thanks Mark!!

Mark brought out his washer game set.  The boys played several games.  Phil was the winner in every game. 

Clare was lovin' Mark's pool table.  She was wanting to play the whole time we were there.  Here she is showing Olivia how to hold the cue stick and hit a ball.

I don't take many pictures of Andrew playing since his team has a dad that takes team photos.  Here are the two I took. 

Andrew's team earned 9th place out of 27 teams.  They had 4 wins, 1 loss, 1 tie in the whole tournament.

My cousin Michelle and her family live in Cedar Falls and came down to CR for two of Andrew's games on Sun.  They took on the 90 degree heat with us.
