Home Sweet Trailer Park???

OK, so I haven’t really kept the blog super current because I figured that you weren’t really interested in our doing the dishes, going to the laundry mat (love/hate relationship), organizing storage units, or hanging out in the trailer park. It’s not really a ‘trailer park’. Though Hannah has made some comments about hopefully not […]

whole lotta nothin'…

That’s what we have been doing since we got ‘home’. Actually, we have been busy every day, but not doing anything ‘exciting’ – at least compared to when we were on the road and always seeing someplace new. We had pulled into town on the 4th, and spent the first night in WallyWorld because we […]

One last hurrah at Watiki Waterpark in Rapid City, South Dakota!

(…way back on April 29th!) Our last day in Rapid City was spent doing some shopping, and then in the evening, we went to Watiki Waterpark… Watiki is located between 2 hotels, but is open to the public. Vaughn and I had been talking about hitting a water park, and we planned on staying at […]

Reptile Gardens near Rapid City, South Dakota…

After our morning at Mount Rushmore, we headed down the mountain, and stopped a few miles down the road…I had been here before; 25 years ago.

Mount Rushmore National Memorial, Rapid City, SD

On our way back home, we made a couple more stops. We pulled into Rapid City on Tuesday (the 28th – yeah, I’m way behind!), and parked at Cabela’s. We had actually tried to find a campground by calling around before we got to town, but all the ones that I had called were not […]

today…

Ahhh~ feels good to be home(at our home town, not the WalMart!!!) LOL! (well, OK, maybe we’d been missing our WallyWorld parking too!) 🙂

on the road, making tracks towards home…

After we left Gramma’s house last Sunday, we got as far as Clear Lake Iowa, and stayed at the state park there. It was a blustery evening, so we just stayed in and watched a movie – well, the kids watched a movie while Vaughn and I went into town and bought a few groceries. […]

visiting Great-gramma

We stayed at my Gramma B.’s house through Sunday morning. While we were there, Gramma gave Molly a baby quilt that she had made… and the boys set Gramma’s clotheslines in cement… you’d think that Greg and Eli were practicing to get government jobs… and the little girls loved taking baths in a ‘real tub’… […]
