The Great State of Iowa | Color Commentary

As usual, we bring you a compendium of quotes from the bambini to provide color to the more factual commentary:

Joe: "Are there volcanos in Iowa?  I know there are volcanos in Japan."
Julie: "And Hawaii.  Mommy once stood on a volcano!"
Joe: "I know."
Julie: "You couldn't know that.  I've never told you that before."

Joe: "Can you spell my name out of order?"
Julie: "O-E-J."

Joe: "Daddy, I know how to spell yo-yo.  Y-O-Y. . .O!!!!!"

Clara: "Daddy, I picked 'High Cookies.'" [Fans of the Sandra Boynton Philadelphia Chicken album might recognize this as Clara's shorthand for Faraway Cookies.  The bambini passed a good portion of the the trip down to Des Moines passing the book that accompanies the CD back and forth selecting what song they wanted to hear.]

Clara: "HI MINNESOTA RIVER!!!!!  I love you Minnesota River!"
