Day 40 Des Mones, IA to Marshalltown, IA Waves of fun!!

So today we woke up at 5:45 and got packed up and what not.  We were fed breakfast by Dave Adickes and it was some good cereal and bagels and whole bananas this morning.

We racked our bikes as there was a bunch of construction or traffic on every route out of West Des Moines so we had to be racked for about 20 miles or so. We unracked at the Adventureland park in Des Moines. We then headed out from there and it was Colin and Alex that I rode with today.  Alex pulled us pretty hard and we got some pretty good speed.  We arrived in about 2.5 hours and had some sandwiches right outside the aquatic center of Marshalltown.  After the food we all headed into the water park for a few hours.

It was a lot of fun they had slides, diving boards and a lazy river. We were supposed to meet up with clients of ARC of Marshalltown but it was a sunday and so we only were able to get one to come out, his name was Oscar and he was a cool kid.  We left the pool about 2:30 or so and headed to our lodging which is a small hotel.  Its cool though as they have hot breakfast in the morning so I am excited for that.

We checked in and got settled and then I took a nap for about an hour before dinner and our friendship visit.  We left at about 5pm for the local bowling center in Marshalltown. We met up with the clients of ARC of Marshalltown and were given a proclamation by the Mayor of Marshalltown.  Proclaiming that today is Push America day in Marshalltown.

We helped serve and then eat dinner which was cheesy potatoes and  beans and pork slices.  It was a good dinner and then afterward we bowled and danced for a few hours.  I didnt do that great with the house ball and only got like a 113 but had a lot of fun bowling with Rosie and Tomi.

After we were done with bowling we said goodbye and headed out for a team washing the vans event. The vans are now sparkling clean and then we headed to Burger King for some late night snacks.

I am now getting caught up on videos yay

Have a good night


Peace, Love, and Gatorades
