This year for our family vacation we again went over the 4th of July week/weekend, but this year we tried another new place... Panora (Lake Panorama), Iowa. It was a great time with family and the location turned out to be perfect. We had a good sized condo that actually was 2 places joined together by an interior door, but fit all of us (sans Megan & James who didn't make it with us this year). Well the condo was situated on a golf course just next to a lake. Out the back door of our condo was the green for hole 15. The only somewhat of a down fall was that it was SOOOO Hot this week. It was 90+ and humid the whole time. The condo was air conditioned, but it was hard with Camdyn to have him out in the prime day time due to the heat. But we managed and had a good time.

One afternoon we went to this historical town site in Panora... it was a whole old school little village with a town store, church, school house, train station, houses, mail station, and large shed full of hold vehicles & farm machinery.
