We arrived for a terrific dinner with Bev and Ken in Eldridge, Iowa. The children played outside on the neighbors' swing set, Greta made $1.25 for picking up 110 apples off the lawn, (The deal had been .01 per apple, but Ken gave her a tip.) and the men took the children to the playground for a bit while Jenna and Bev talked in the kitchen.
Bev gave Greta a fancy hair-do before bed.
Ken and Rob chatting about the agri-business of corn farming. "King Corn" came up as a recommended documentary about this industry.
Tomorrow, Bev and Ken have invited our family to enjoy their pontoon boat on the Mississippi. Then, it's off to Purdue for bowling in the Memorial Union and couchsurfing in Crawfordsville, IN. Sunday's shaping up to be another great day of family travel.
