Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Celene Gogerty, Judge. AFFIRMED AS MODIFIED.  Considered by Schumacher, P.J., and Chicchelly and Buller, JJ.  Opinion by Chicchelly, J.  (7 pages)

            Ronald (Ronnie) Morgan appeals the district court’s order on remand of his petition to modify visitation with two minor children, A.M. and E.M.  Ronnie alleges that the court’s holiday visitation schedule is not in the children’s best interests and that the children’s mother, Alexis Ficek, should share responsibility for transportation to and from visitation.  OPINION HOLDS: Upon our de novo review, we affirm the court’s decision with respect to visitation but modify the order such that the responsibility for transportation shall be shared.  We also decline Alexis’s request for appellate attorney fees.
