Our last fling of summer was to drive down through Iowa to Rock Island, Illinois for Maggie's 25th high school Reunion. We got up very, very early on Saturday morning and made our way down through some beautiful farm country while the skies put on a dramatic show at sunrise.
We had a wonderful time catching up with old friends and I made a few new ones as well. We also spent some good time with Maggie's folks, who put up with our coming and going and helped with the kids for the weekend.
On the way home we ran into some really intense summer thunderstorms rolling east of Waterloo, Iowa. I pulled over and got out of the car to take some photos as the leading edge of these scary looking clouds bore down on us.
