At the farm with the baby goats

In Iowa for our second week the cousins were all away at camp, although the twins did come back late Tuesday. But Anna and Jude had their grandparents to themselves for a couple of days. On Monday they took them to a farm that has a bunch of baby goats. They were able to feed, hold and pet them and they just loved it. So much so, they went back again a couple of days later for a second term.

Jude just loved petting the kid goats

For Jude the highlight of his week, as it has been for several weeks now, was watching the World Cup. We organized his days around watching the games and he got to see every minutes of both semi-finals while in Iowa. He even got Baba into it who was cheering for whoever Jude was supporting.

The trip was over all too quick and we drove back to Denver on Thursday. Of course, this weekend was spent watching the World Cup, both the third place game on Saturday and the final on Sunday. Jude was really disappointed to see Croatia lose, he couldn’t even watch the game towards the end.

Anna and Marcy have a tea party on the back deck

Yesterday was super hot so we spent the afternoon at the JCC by the pool. Today was 20+ degrees cooler and it rained all afternoon. Before the rain Anna got out her miniature tea set and she and Marcy had a tea party and then Anna filled a picnic basket with they had lunch in the park.
