Field of Dreams

One thing we had always wanted to do in Iowa was to visit the Field of Dreams Movie Site.  We had heard that it was a lot of fun, and although I had my doubts about how much fun a baseball field would be, we decided to risk the hour+ drive to check it out.  There are really a lot of pictures, but really isn't that the point of a place like this?
 
On our way.

We stopped at a second hand sports store and got some perfectly sized gloves for Addie and Andres for $5 each!

Addie took this picture of us. Pretty good, eh?

We're ready!


Enjoying a little lunch

We tried to get either Addie or Andres to re-enact the oh-so-exciting fall-off-the-bleachers scene, but neither one was too into that. We did watch the movie the next day and I paid enough attention while we were there to tell you they're the same bleachers.

Go, Andres, Go!!

. . . and sliding into home!

Dexter took a turn running the bases too.

And there you have it.

Totes jealous of your adventure! So much fun, and I absolutely love that movie.

I must admit it is a bit sad that neither Addie or Andres would take one for the team for the sake of a picture.

John would love to have been there. He loved that movie. Glad you were able to get there before you left. Fun memories for all.
