P.E.O. Outing

On Wednesday, July 21st P.E.O. Chapter NT went to Ames and visited the Reiman Gardens and ate at the Shoppes on Grand. I invited the Willis family to the gardens. Makenna loved seeing the butterflies, the 50 gnomes sitting around, and meeting a new friend, Diego Sigala. Colin seemed very content to just ride in his new stroller. It was a nice outing and can you believe it - no rain!!!
