some more of the story...

We're home... have been for some time now... had a FABULOUS trip!

At last post we left you in Kansas City. From there we headed north to Centerville, SD and spent a few days with good friends. The kids would gladly have stayed there another week... boy oh boy, Dan and Amy, then you would have been really tired out!! We enjoyed seeing Dan's church, fishing Nathanael out of the fish pond, celebrating Sarah's birthday, spending an evening in Sioux Falls, and just generally hanging out with the Redhages.










Here the kids (and Al!) snuggle together up on the lookout tower in Falls Park in Sioux Falls, SD. This park was wonderful. All night long the kids climbed around on rocks - heaven.

Heading west...

What a great trip it looks like you had (and it sounded like you had according to Alyssa's account). My personal favorite photos are "acting corny" and the one from when you first arrived at the park (the kids' expressions are priceless!)

Oh, we so enjoyed our Krug visit! Now we want to follow your path out to the Black Hills, too!

I forgot to mention that Sarah fell into the same fish pond at a fundraising cookout by the pretty garden Sunday night! :)
