We had some down time between soccer session and after camp ended to enjoy some good meals and tour parts of campus. This is the most photographed building I think...the old capitol building and the center of main campus.
Across the large grass area sat this cute chapel right along the water.
Campus is split in half by a river, distinguished as west campus and east campus. East campus had the traditional buildings, student union, several dorms and the cute downtown area.
West campus was where all of the sports complexes and medical facilities are located. We were so excited to see Kinnick Stadium and you can also see Children's Hospital to the right of it. During home games, the fans inside the stadium wave up to the children and their families inside the hospital.
What a cool tradition!
A very impressive new track facility too!
Aunt Sheri told me about the yummy donut shop, Hurts Donuts.
Such a cute shop and so many fun flavors to choose from.
We chose our favorite 12 and brought them to DeWitt for a family dinner.
Allison got to meet the 3 newest members to the Barnes family...Oliver,
Brooks
and Amelia! We had a nice dinner with Greg and Sheri, Bill, Pat and Joyce, Mike and Cindy, Matt, Thomas and Becca, Kevin and Bethany and Mya. It was so sweet of them to put a potluck together for our visit!
Monday morning, we spent a little more time in Des Moines before making our way to the airport. We got lunch for the plane and walked around this frozen lake. I think Allison enjoyed her time in Iowa and learned that she actually likes KU better than Iowa's campus for college, but we shall see...
