Summer in Iowa Bucket List

Only 8 days of school left! YAY! Each summer, I take the girls (and hesitant husband) on "Mommy Adventures"... small day trips or outings.  A year ago, a "Mommy Adventure" resulted in my husband breaking his leg.  Oops!  I decided to make a Summer in Iowa Bucket List to guide us this summer.  It will also be useful on those days when we just stare at each other with nothing to do. Some of these things are free and some will cost money. What did I leave off? What would you add?  I will cross things off as we accomplish them! Wish us luck!
