Little cowgirl

Shecklet #3 spent two nights with Nana while Papa was out of town. Part of their time together was spent at the stable visiting Rio and riding Kid. The cowgirl also got a new pair of sparkly boots 🙂

Park and backyard in MG

We met one of the Shecklets’ cousins and aunt at the park this morning.


From the park, we grabbed lunch and went to the office for a bit so I could catch up on work. Then we stopped over at Nana and Papa’s house where he kids helped Papa wash the Kubota and then got to drive it, played in the backyard, and had a picnic dinner on the front yard. Perfect summer day!

SD Vacation 2017 – Day 8

Part two of the drive home. We left Mitchell and went to Sioux Falls to check out the Butterfly Gardens and Aquarium. 



We grabbed a quick lunch and then drove to Marion to visit some of my extended family. It had been four years since our last trip to see them – Shecklet #4 was only a few months old and my cousin Josh was getting ready for his deployment. It was really good to spend time catching up with family. Hopefully it won’t be another four years until we can do it again. 

Gassed up in Sioux Falls and heading home!
