We have returned from our oh so fabulous trip to Iowa for two family reunions! We had sooo much fun and there will be more blogging to come but I had to tell you about the ride there on Wednesday. Normally it is are we there yet and there was some of that but mainly it was identifying things for Isaiah. He saw plenty of "dow dows" aka cows and had to point out each and everyone. Do you realize how many cows are between Oklahoma and Iowa? Mostly though it was Elijah saying what is that and I had to become creative since the only answer I had for each question was corn so it went a little something like this:
Q: Mommy what is that? A: Corn
Q: Mommy what is that? A: Corn
Q: Mommy what is that? A: Beans
Q: Mommy what is that? A: More corn
Q: Mommy what is that? A: Shorter corn
Q: Mommy what is that? A: Tall corn
Q: Mommy what is that? A: Diagonal corn
Q: Mommy what is that? A: Corn planted in straight lines
Q: Mommy what is that?
A: Criss cross corn - besides a few beans, pigs, cows, barns and silos it is ALL corn okay!!!
His response to my attempt to stop the questions: Wow these people must really love corn and eat a LOT of it! Then on Sunday we went to a second reunion that was in a neighborhood and the corn field butted right up to their houses and he said "Momma are we going here to eat a lot of corn because look they even planted corn in their backyard and it is almost touching their house."
