Mom and I went to the park in Knoxville. Kelley and Hunter came over to play at the park. The boys had a good time. We stopped at Mike and Tracy's on the way home and had a nice visit. They were working hard on their fence in the back yard so they can get the pool put up!
Tracy, Duncan and I went to Dubuque for the weekend. Tracy had a conference on Thursday and Friday. It was at the Grand Harbor Resort and water park so we thought it would be fun to go as a family. We had a really good time. Duncan loved the water park, and his Dad took him to the arcade too. I think they had a blast there, I vegged in the room and watched TV! Duncan and I walked on the river walk, went to eagle point park to see the eagles. We did not see any. We did see the lock and dams, pretty cool. WE also walked along the river walk at the hotel, that was fun. Tracy got to go to the Fenton Cable car with us, and to the water park a couple of times. We also went to the aquarium, Duncan really liked that!
Hannah's birthday party was on Sunday that we got home so we stopped in Williamsburg to buy her gift. All she told us she wanted was jeans, so we went to old navy and got her a couple pairs.
We also attended Taylor's conformation at Christ the King. She was a lector and read one of the readings. She did such a good job. I could tell she was nervous, but once she got up there and started reading, she did an awesome job. We paid for the Dam to Dam for her conformation gift. She was very happy with that because she doesn't want to spend her money if she can get aunt and uncle to pay for it!!
This week we have been getting the camper ready to go camping. We are going to Saylorville this weekend with Kenny and Rachel and Rachel's family. It should be lots of fun. The girls are going with us also and Sunday is Mother's Day so we are going to have a cookout at the campground. Can't get much better than that, Tracy will do it all!! Just like he always does when we camp!!
Grandma and Duncan at the park, Duncan really liked this turtle.
Duncan really loves going down the slides, the bigger the better!
The cable car in Dubuque, a banker build this so he didn't have to go all through town to get to work. The book said he went home at lunch and even had time to take a nap. We rode this up, it was beautiful over looking the Mississippi River from the top. I of course forgot my camera at the hotel so we had to go back and take pictures! Tracy and Duncan think alike, they neither one like heights very well. Oh well it was a fun ride. You have to sit down in the car and pull the string and the operator at the top of the hill starts the car up the hill! It was inexpensive too, $1.00 per person for one way. We paid the round trip because we sure were not going to walk around to get back down town!
We went to the aquarium, Duncan really enjoyed looking at all of the animals. Fish, turtles, lizards, and lots of other little creatures.
Outside the Aquarium 
Duncan watching the crocodile very close
Watching the frog
Walking along the Mississippi River Walk. Duncan would rather be running
Ducks in the river, Duncan and I sat and watched these ducks for about 20 minutes, he really liked just watching in the river. Barges, boats, fish and ducks.
Duncan decided that the place to ride in the stroller was the basket! He cleaned it all out into the seat and climbed right in.
Duncan at the water park in the hotel. He had a really good time. He liked the slides, but most of all he just like playing around in the water. We were in the wave pool and rode on the tubes, he played basketball in the water and just roamed around. Of course I didn't really think to take a picture of the "water park", I will get better at those kinds of things!
