Our Saturday Walk in Cedar Falls Iowa

June 20th 2009
Greg and I had stayed in the Blackhawk hotel and even though we stayed up until like 4am partying with friends we were up and at them by 930am. We went down and enjoyed a very nice breakfast at the hotel and went window shopping on main street. We stopped in a few shops and then headed across the way to the bridge. The wild flowers were beautiful and the slight breeze made the sun even more enjoyable. It really didn't feel like there was an humidity at all!
Ryan picked us up about 11:30am so we could head to UNI. First we had to stop at the bookstore and pick up some new UNI gear and then we toured the UNI campus. They are always updating things. The fountain by maucker union is getting renovated and they are adding grass. The trees were amazing as always.
We stopped by the four trees off of 18th street so Ryan could get a picture. The four trees are about 100 years old. The Guy who lived in the house was the botanist for UNI and he scored the bark on the four trees then wrapped them together so that they would all heal as on large tree. Ive always thought it was just beautiful!
We headed home for some gift opening and grilled out with friends and family. That evening we had dinner with family and Jovanna and Wyatt were able to join us. It was nice to be able to actually sit down and talk to the two of them since the last time we saw them it was their reception and we know how busy receptions are!!!
