Iowa Trip

Back at the end of March I flew out to Iowa for a few days for the Waverly Draft horse sale and met up with Grandpa Pete, Grandma Joyce and Amber. I flew out Tuesday morning from Bellingham and arrived at the Waterloo airport about 9 p.m. Iowa time. I had such a good time. Wednesday morning we were up bright and early, dropped Joyce off at the sale and Pete, Amber and I headed an hour out of town to an amish farm to load horses and haul them to the sale. It was about 17 degrees and WINDY. Wednesday at the sale was just the horse preview. There really wasn't much for us to look at all. There weren't many horses to begin with and even fewer belgians. SO Amber and I decided to grab the keys to the truck and take off for the afternoon. We had such a good time. We went to Hazleton and they have the cutest little amish farms. We visited a bunch of their shops and just drove around checking it all out. We timed it perfectly too and saw all of the little kids going home from school on their little buggies. SOOOO stinkin cute. Didn't come home with any new horses but it was an experience and I want to go back so bad. Its definitely more laid back there, and open. When I landed in Chicago for my layover I wanted to hop back on the plane and go right back.
