We had the most fantastically fun weekend with Jessie & Chris on our "Choose Your Own Adventure in Des Moines" Christmas gift! Jessie & Chris met and greeted us with cold beers at Prairie Meadows where we watched traditional horse racing with the hilarious promo event of camel & ostrich racing Friday night. We each chose our faves but had no idea who won because we were all laughing too hard. Our favorite horse was guess which name (see picture) even though she didn't win us any $!
Saturday we started out the morning with a bike ride to the biggest and most awesome farmer's market we'd ever see in downtown Des Moines where we enjoyed breakfast and a bloody mary bar- yum!
We stopped for a photo-op by Grey's Lake
Then we went golfing! How does my swing look?
Next we headed back to Jessie & Chris' apartment to relax and have a 'dip party' and 'good' beer (2 of our custom adventure choices for the weekend) it was one of my favorite parts! Jessie made 
5 dips and provided plenty of fun different dippers.

Then we were off to a Barnstormer's game with a pregame warm-up at a close by sport's & gaming bar (Mike was in heaven!) We snuck down to 2nd row seats and it was such an exciting game- we now LOVE arena football and wish we had a local team! We then hit the downtown bars and experienced the Des Moines nightlife.
We ended our adventure on Sunday morning with a delicious breakfast at a popular local diner and headed home exhausted and happy and feeling so lucky to have such a wonderful sister & brother! Thanks Jessie & Chris!
