We love Ames!

My pictures got a little out of order on this one...blogger (that being me) error!!

Pondering the moment?

Iowa State has these great solar powered trash compactors and Cy says to "Live Green" on them...Finnean thought that was awesome...because Cy was everywhere!!

We found out the hard way that pine cones are super sticky!!  YUCK!

"Dad!  Wait up!!"

We finished the night up by heading to Hickory Park for some yummy food and excellent ice cream (you have to get ice cream when you go!) with Uncle Trav.  Finnean loves hanging out with him and we had a great dinner! 
On Friday we headed up to Ames to check out the campus (best time of the year to go) and take Finnean on CyRide.  To say the least, he was excited!!!!  He loved riding and kept saying "I like riding the bus with you!"

Going on a walk...

These boys just melt my heart.  Look at them!

This is why it is the best time of the year to go.  The colors are amazing, trees everywhere, crunching leaves beneath your feet, it even smells like Fall!  Can you tell I love Fall?

LEAVES!!!

This is just a really awesome tree that we found:)

Michael and I spent a lot of time enjoying the campus grounds when we were in college.  Always finding a place to meet up for lunch between classes.  We remember taking Jerry to Central Campus to run around and noticed a young couple with their dog there on this day.  They ooo'd and ahhhh'd over how cute Finnean was and we think just like us, probably talked about how they want babies someday, just like we did.  It was a fun little flashback to our younger years.
