In Clear Lake City, me and the fireboy strike up conversation.

Out at the dock on Clear Lake (the Lake, this time).  Hotter than blazes.

  Dinner down by the river.  Ahh, that hits the spot.

At the park, by the river.  You wouldn't believe how fun those swings are.

Still at the park, Erik and I strike a pose.

End of the day, heading home over the river.

So, when I was in Iowa, a couple of weekends ago, I had a pretty fabulous time.  Why did I go to Iowa?  Well, my cousin Erik has been working down there all summer, and from what I could gather, was about to rip his eyeballs out from boredom.  So, I went down and spent a weekend with him.  All these pictures are from one afternoon/evening.  We kept busy, and had a really good time.  We stumbled across a carnival/fair, walked the length of Clear Lake City (which was almost completely deserted), got some food at the grocery store and ate by the river, went out for ice cream, and stayed up til three in the morning watching a movie and half a dozen Cosby Show episodes.  Yup.  It was fun. :D
