Brad and his mini me...Nick!
During the day the guys went boating in Coralville! It was a LONG day for these guys. They left just before 9am, stocked with their beverages for the day and a few fun things for Nick to enjoy. They had a great time from the stories they have shared. It was a HOT day, these guys were sun fried, tongue tied and stupefied! Thankfully I had a very fun day of my own! Golfing in the Putts for Pets fundraiser for CVHS with my best girlfriends and lunch after! Brad and I both had our much needed day of fun!That evening the guys venture back to Springville. We met up with them at our place so most of the guys could enjoy the air conditioning and a much needed shower, before heading down to Nick and Sarah's house for the evening festivities!
This suntan line was just hilarious! Nobody is fessing up to putting this straight line of suntan lotion on Matt's back, but OMG, look at the sizzlin' sun burn...ouch!
The evening brought lots and lots of laughs. Some were pretty burnt out from the long day they had already had, but the rest of us hung in there until the wee hours of the morning. I think this was just before midnight, lots of alcohol brought out the barbers in the house....we decided that Klev needed a haircut and Trent was up for doing the deed!Gross, look at how dirty his feet are!!! Nick decided that they needed some tending to so the sanitizer wipes cleaned them right up!
And Brad used his make shift 'hairdryer' to rid of the access hair. An air compressor worked wonders for that! Ahhh, the laughs!
Well the 'Bride' tank top that we got for Sarah, Nick thought looked better on him! So he used a few of his make shift 'toys' from the day, and dressed himself up....oh lord!
There were gifts of all sorts....funny, funny stuff! Brad and I kept laughing remembering back to our bachelor and bachelorette party's, we were sure glad this was them going thru this and not us!
The kids spent time in Des Moines with my Dad for the weekend. Grandpa and Keeley were very happy to have the kids during the day on Saturday and over night! Dylan was very excited to go to Grandpa's house. They took the kids out and about and did some really neat things! The first stop was the big Des Moines Down Town Farmers Market. Dylan loves the Market here and was just thrilled to venture to a new one! They also went to Indianola to a Air Balloon festival. There were all kinds of things for the kids to do. Here Dylan is seen in one of Mario Andretti's Race Cars!
Eating Peaches off of a stick! I just couldn't believe it, expanding his horizons with Grandpa!
And look at ALL of these beautiful Hot Air Balloons! They said this was just the most amazing thing to see. There were literally hundreds of air balloons and they all released at the same time. All of the colors are just beautiful! Dylan is still talking about how much fun he had!
And here are just a few of the balloons after the release! AMAZING, look at all of them!
A pretty big change has recently taken place over the past few weeks for our family. Daddy started a new job! He is VERY excited to be venturing into this new adventure. Daddy is doing bridge work. Anything from working on the bridge to pouring the concrete for bridge deck approaches. The first week Daddy was gone for 3 nights. This precious picture was taken the first night before Daddy left. Dylan crawled right up on the couch next to Daddy, snuggled himself in and fell asleep. Sweet little guy, this melted Daddy's heart.
A few pictures showing the type of work that Brad is now doing! He is now into week 3 and things are going very well. He was home 3 nights last week and will be this week also, and that is perfect! He will only travel occasionally, when he does it sure makes us cherish our family time together even more. We created a calendar 'x-ing' off the days until the big 'star' when daddy comes home. It really helps Dylan understand the concept of time, and he looks forward to making the 'x' himself too!
A new change was needed for Brad, for more than one reason! He is very happy with his choice and embracing this new opportunity.
The weekend before Brad started his new job we decided to have a super fun weekend with the kiddo's...it was HOT outside so we decided what a better way to cool off than to take a trip to the Water park!
We ventured to Lost Island water park in Waterloo. It was a HIT! We got there right as they opened at 10:30 and had a full day staying until 4. To say the kids had a blast is a bit of an understatement! We truly had a great time!

To say the kids had a blast is a bit of an understatement! We truly had a great time!There is SO much to do for kids of all ages, and adults too! They have a toddler park area, then an elementary school age water park area, two of them actually, plus the lazy river and the BIG slides for adults. Then they also have mini golf, go-carts etc. The kids had no fear of the water, they are truly water babies. Danielle just loved every single minute of being in the water, in fact...when we went to leave she cried and screamed and cried because we took her out of the water!
Brad was very excited to take Dylan and venture on a couple of the BIG water slides. Dylan was so thrilled. This tube ride was a hike up to the top holding onto a little guy and a tube, but Daddy did well!
And the trip down was a blast. Dylan was begging for more and more and more!
The family slide was really a hike to the top. Not quite the 10 stories like the one we went on in Minnesota, but pretty close!
They let just the two of them go down together! I love the look on Dylan's face after going down a slide like this, pure thrill and excitement! So much fun!

It took Dylan the whole next day of laying around and sleeping on and off to get his energy back. He was pooped out! The sun and water took a lot out of him but he sure had so much fun, and so did we! It was a perfect family fun day, one that we will for sure do again!
So, a few changes going on at this Holub home. But changes for the better we say! We still have more fun to be had in these remaining weeks of summer. Much to look forward to! Thank you lord for blessing our family with these memory's in the making.~
