May was busy!

I'm so glad May is over. It was fun but it was very busy. I'm now ready for the summer to slowly creep along. Does that ever happen? It will be Christmas before I know it. A few weekends ago Dan and I celebrated our 6th anniversary. We dropped the kid of with the grandparents (yay!) and headed to Maquoketa Caves State Park. We hiked and explored caves for a few hours. The weather was perfect and the park was gorgeous. When we were done we headed to a bed and breakfast for some relaxation. It was a great weekend!

Dan heading into the main cave which is big enough to walk through (my kind of cave!).

This is called balancing rock or balanced rock or something like that. Not sure if you can tell in the picture how it looks like it's ready to roll off down the hill.

Here I am!

This is called the natural bridge. I decided I needed to be in the picture so you could get a feel for how big it is. Can you see me? I'm the small speck of blue in the center of the photo.

Dan crawling into a cave. Crawling into caves is not my thing.

It had rained a lot that week so the park was very lush and green. It was so nice to be outside!

Last Saturday Dan ran his first half-marathon! It was in Des Moines and is called Dam to Dam. He had been training for awhile for this race. He did a great job (just beat his goal time by 30 seconds). It was exciting to head downtown and see him run for the finish line. It was NOT fun trying to find him after that. =)

Here he is running towards the finish (you can see him between the two women in the foreground)

Done! I'm so proud of him!
