Ben's Instagram: July - September 2014

Ellis is more patriotic than you'll ever be. #stillknowseverypresident #justsayin #happy4th

Sam says to me completely out of the blue: "Dad, I only have two weapons: my blue night-night and lots of guns." #watchout

Ellis was my soccer buddy tonight at the #RSL game. Spectacular game, great fireworks, wonderful company. Thanks @lorijunemama and @gdave_griffinfor the tickets! Photobomb by @josjacks

The Iverson siblings have a long tradition of their dad out-fishing them. Today was no exception. #18inchbrowntrout #atleasticaughtsometoo

Henry's first fish on a fly ever. You wouldn't believe how excited we boys were to watch the fish grab it off the water. It's the size of fight in the fish that matters, right? #nofilter

Ellis was such a diligent fisherman that he so deserved catching this one. As you can tell by the look on his face, he was pretty proud of himself. I'm holding the fish for the picture because he was nervous it would slip out of his hands.


Of course, @bgriffin1234 and I had to get out and find the good fishing holes on our own to make sure we could help Henry and Ellis catch fish. Mission accomplished. #fishingovergram

48 states down, 2 to go. You can tell how fast I was driving by how much of the sign @jennyiverson was able to get in the picture. #overgram #minnesotatomorrow

Squint hard, and you'll see that we made it through Minnesota yesterday. 49 states down, 1 to go. Looks like I need to start planning a trip to Hawaii...shucks. #50states #airportsdontcount

Ellis' game face.

Out for a walk in beautiful Rotterdam. #econconference

Holland is known for tulips and windmills, but I'm starting to think their bridges might be the most eye-catching things here. #econconference #rotterdam


Sat in a conference all day, but they took us for a boat ride to dinner tonight. The weather was gorgeous. #morebridges #econconference #rotterdam

Fun fact: Rotterdam is the third largest port in the world. #morebridges #econconference #rotterdam

Had dinner in this tower called the Euromast. There is an elevator which takes you to the top, which is the highest point in the Netherlands. #itsnosearstower #econconference #rotterdam

The view from our dinner table. #rotterdam #econconference

The Dutch have the coolest bikes. This one's for you,@achoules .

Amster! Amster! Sh, sh, sh. #3fishermen #amsterdam #econconference

The Rijksmuseum: home of "The Jewish Bride," "The Milkmaid," and other famous paintings that Ellis has taught me about. #vermeer #rembrandt #vangogh #amsterdam

Made it to the Anne Frank House and the Dutch Resistance Museum as well today. Powerful, sobering places. #amsterdam #WWII
