a fun day at the train depot
LL's 5th birthday (my ugly attempt at a Tangled cake)
our new friend Trixie
Kids having fun before Jana's Bridal Shower with Uncle Mike
Hanging out waiting for school to start
Our first stop was Kirtland, OH. Starting the trip off right with some singing and dancing, typical girl style.
Kirtland Temple
cute kids, and Matt:)
Another stop at Southbend, IN where I walked around Notre Dame's campus while Matt got lost driving the car from one spot to another. Construction is maddening.
Chicago, IL for some awesome pizza. A must have if you ever go there!!!
Blue Earth, MN where we had Dairy Queen and found a mighty green giant. They are standing at his feet.
rock jumping contest in Sioux Falls, SD. Which happened to be our favorite stop on the trip
The Corn Palace in Mitchel, SD. Not really worth the stop, but it was still pretty funny to see.
Matt decided to go long for the trip:)
Wall Drug in SD. If you haven't been there you need to stop, it is funny too. And the kids had a blast!
Mt. Rushmore where we stayed two days to take a break from driving!! And MJ became a jr. ranger there.
raging river right next to the road as were were headed to Cody, WY. We actually met another family there that were moving from Conn. to Cal.
family reunion skits in Island Park, ID
all the grandkids on Matt's side of the family and Grandma Jeanne who made the cute pj's
