July 4th is the normal time for the big family gathering in Iowa, but with July 4th on a Tuesday we centered the events around the weekend.  This worked well with the timing of the Canada Day holiday.  This time we flew into Kansas City.  I went in late Friday night and Tom took the first flight out Saturday morning.  I picked him up and we drove to Tom's parents in Des Moines.  Although not all the nieces and nephews made it, we did have a pretty good turnout including some new additions to the family for the big event including the annual croquet competition.

Tom captured most of the pictures during the competition on Sunday, and we ended with a nice barbecue at Tom's parents place.

July 3

We headed back to Kansas City in the morning, before taking off on our afternoon flights to Toronto and Houston.
