Young Farmer Conference

Friday and Saturday Mark & I packed up the kids and headed to Des Moines for the annual Young Farmer Conference. We arrived at our hotel about 30 minutes before our meeting started. As I was helping Amelia out of the Navigator and grabbing the kids' stuff I realized that we forgot OUR suitcase! If you ask me, Mark was supposed to add his toiletries and bring the suitcase to the car, if you ask Mark I was supposed to make sure we had everything. :) It really doesn't matter. :) Fortunately for us, BJ and Cassia were also heading to DesMoines for meetings and were nice enough to go back to our house from Pella and bring us our suitcase! THANKS GUYS!!!!

The group from Mahaska county.

I took the kids swimming on Friday night while Mark listened to the keynote speaker John Phips from the US farm Report.

Amelia loved swimming. It wasn't long ago that she wouldn't swim unless someone was holding her. Now she goes all over by herself!
Ethan made a friend, Josh. They were in the daycare together and Ethan said to me, "I think Josh farms too." I laughed and told him that everyone here farms, its a farming conference. He was amazed. :)

Rachel and Sara singing with "Live Band Karaoke" This was our Friday evening entrainment. I was really impressed at how many people sang.
