Leaving Chicago and grandsons & heading NW

A short over night stop in Chicago and we were headed NW through the edge of Wisconsin, into Iowa and into the edge of Minnesota for a short night stay in Harmony, MN.  First, it was too short a visit with our younger two grandsons and their parents, but the hospitality was excellent.  The boys were excited about the ambulance and explored it thoroughly and tried any buttons they could find and pretended to drive, by taking turns at the wheel.  We remembered to have Meredith take our photo in front of their home in Lake Forest.  We did encounter about 45 minutes of stop and go traffic at the circle in Chicago, even on Sunday afternoon.  Our trip on Monday across Wisconsin, the Mississippi River, into Iowa and into the edge of MN on our way to Clarkfield, MN to visit the family farm of our nephew Dan's wife Carrie and their 3 children. 
I was really impressed  by the rolling fields of corn and beans in Iowa.  Wisconsin farm fields seemed to be in drought, but Iowa's fields were in pretty good shape.  Another feature on many barns was an approximately 5x5 foot quilt pattern.  We must have seen about 15 barns each with a different quilt pattern.  Lastly, David took a picture of me in front of an Iowa museum devoted to Laura Ingalls Wilder.  We arrived too late to visit the museum which is housed in an old bank.  We are hoping there is rain tonight and it cools off.  It is suppose to be in mid 80's and less humid tomorrow.  Today it was at least 95 degrees and very humid.
