First I want to start this post by saying Happy Anniversary to my husband and Happy 15th Birthday to my son, Skyler. We got to ride in a car for quite a while today, but once we made it to our spot it was neat. We drove from Bloomington, Minnesota to Dyersville, Iowa in order to see the Field of Dreams. The Field of Dreams is a movie that Jarred has always really liked. He has been wanting to see this Field of Dreams for while and since we were only about 5 hours away once we decided to travel to MOA we decided we might as well do it all.
Driving 5 hours with three little kids can be crazy but luckily they have a tv to watch which helps to keep them entertained. One thing that we did was bring the movies along that would go with a couple of the areas we were going to so that the kids could watch them before we got there. The Field of Dreams movie is one they have seen before, but we brought and played it again anyways. The kids had just finished it about an hour before we got to the actualy site of the movie. Man was it fun to be at the site of a movie! The house was the same one they used in the movie and the field looks the same also. We stayed for about an hour to hour in a half and played on the field, took pictures, and even hit the ball and ran some bases. It was a good time for the kids to run off some energy also and it worked out well for us. Jarred and my dad really loved seeing the field. I think Jim and Jayne enjoyed it also.
After seeing the Field of Dreams we headed to Kansas so that we could go to Wamego, Kansas to see the Wizard of Oz Museum. We ended up stayin in a hotel in West Des Moines, Iowa.
About half way through our vacation now.
