Re: Can a file be added with Iowa info for those that stay at RMH?

[Guest guest]

Holly,

here's a website with much info on the area that might help

http://www.iowacitycoralville.org/

(The carousel at the mall is a favorite of my daughter, we always

make a stop whenever we go back.. it's probably the nicest I've ever

seen. I know you'll get many more good ideas...)

Congratulations as you await your daugnter, Mia! what an exciting

time..

and Claire

Hi Holly,

What a good suggestion. I've always wondered why RMH didn't do

that. One thing my kids loved doing was going to the lower city park

just down the main road from RMH. This park has great walking paths,

so it was nice with 's wheelchair and a wonderful little city

amusement park. It's very small with just 5 rides, but it is cute.

They have a darling train that goes around in the park on a real

miniature track and the kids loved it. They also have an airplane

ride, a fish ride, a ferris wheel with the cages, and a merry go

round. The rides were in really good shape and were only 75 cents

each. All these rides are meant for the little kids. It was a lot

of fun.

We loved going to the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines. There is just

so much to do. I'll have to look up the name of the cute little town

that has a lot of trains. the Train comes every year there

and you can get the schedule if you log onto the website.

loves trains so I took her on the " Ski Train " in town that

goes to the football games. One time we rode it to the game and the

next time we just rode it round trip without going to the game.

There is so much to do and I know we haven't done a lot of things.

There's some neat Amish country out there that's fun to drive to and

interesting to explore. I'll have to pull out some of my stuff that

we did and send you more ideas.

I'm so excited for you all to bring Mia home. You will have a

fabulous time in China. I would love to go back soon, that was such

a special time for us. I really enjoyed talking to you on the phone.

Take care,

Joyce
