They built it, and we came!

With this being our last year in Iowa, we want to make sure that we do everything that we have said in years past that we should do but haven't yet gotten around to. This weekend we checked another item off our Iowa "to do" list (it isn't very long) when we went to the actual Field of Dreams. We hit up Dyersville to check out the iconic movie set, and it did not disappoint!

Just like you would expect, the baseball diamond and farmhouse were surrounded by cornfields in the Middle of Nowhere, IA.

We got out our baseballs, bats, and mitts and did what we do best: play!

Eli spent the majority of his time chewing on his baseball bat. He was as content as could be just chilling in the middle of the baseball diamond.

Hmmm... what's this?

I better taste it to make sure it's ok.

Yeah, this is some good stuff.

Of course, it wouldn't be a true trip to the Field of Dreams unless we took some time to disappear into the corn.

The Field of Dreams was a surprisingly peaceful place. The weather was perfect, the grass was the greenest I've ever seen, and I just let my boys run wild and be in their element. It was the perfect way to spend a beautiful autumn day in Iowa.

As they say in the movie,

"Is this heaven?"

"No, it's Iowa."
