Vacation Day #1

We left home about 10:30 and stopped in Minnesota at the Trail Ridge Stop for lunch. We then continued on and for the next stop in Mitchell, South Dakota to see the Corn Palace. No one was sure about it but decided it was pretty cool after seeing it.

Our next stop was to get gas and Dena spotted a JCPenney's and couldn't let a $10 coupon go to waste, so while Chad filled up the Traverse Dena did some speed shopping a bought a new necklace.

We then continued on to Wall, South Dakota to see Wall Drug and eat supper there. Supper was not too impressive but the kids enjoyed the "Backyard" and looking through the stores.

We arrived in Rapid City about 10:00 and checked into are hotel the Comfort Suites which was very nice.

Things to Remember:
Kaydi calling the binoculars "two eyes."
Kaden stating after each stop "well that was pretty cool."
Kaydi stating "I just want my birthday" every other second.

Guess Who...

wants to be just like Kylee??

It was so cute - she asked if Kylee was home and I told her no.  Wasn't long after that I found her trying to tie Kylee's pointe shoes on - she even had the toe pads on.  I'm glad she didn't try standing in them.

Hoo Are You?

Hooray for Tuesday!! It's time for
NightOwlCrafting
1. Do you decorate for the 4th of July?
I love to decorate but for some reason I haven't done much for the 4th here in the new home. 
2. Do you buy fireworks for the 4th of July?
Nope, I leave that up to the relatives.  I've heard Uncle Kelly has made his purchases and is ready for his annual show.  Grandma Dee usually has sparklers for the kids.
3. How do you celebrate the 4th of July?
It seems to change every year but we usually go with my family to the parade and watch fireworks in Iowa Falls.
4. Do you have a family member that is serving our country?
Yes, my cousin Randy and Chad's cousin Matt.  Right now they are here in the states, but they have had their share of overseas trips.  So grateful for those that serve!
5. Do you dress in red, white or blue on the 4th?
Yes, but it's more fun dressing the kids for the 4th!

Come on over to Night Owl Crafting and join the party!
