Down on the farm

For the second half of our trip to Iowa, we attended the Manatt family reunion on one of the Manatt farms near Brooklyn, Iowa.

The new barn was finished just days before the reunion.















Waveboy and Waterboy enjoyed a hayride on Friday night. As the sun went down, the weather was almost pleasant.
















































Waterboy enjoyed climbing on the wagon.















Everyone relaxed at the hotel.

We saw great-great grandpa and great-great grandma Waveboy's farm,














and one of great-grandpa and great-grandma Waveboy's houses in Grinnell (the one mama Waveboy remembers from when she was a Wavegirl.)















We had to stop at Maid-Rites















and we saw Manatt equipment everywhere . . .
