On the Road Again!!

Spring break has brought a LOT of drive time but we are making a lot of memories. Last weekend, the girls and I went to Minneapolis to visit the American Girl Doll store at the Mall of America. While Trevor stayed with Gpa Dale on Friday and helped Terry at a show on Saturday, Gma Mickey went with us "girls" and enjoyed some fun time with Terry's sis and family. On Monday, my mom left with the kids and I to visit SD, IA and MN. I wanted to take advantage of spring break to visit both sets of my grandparents. We were able to go down memory lane by visiting Gpa and Gma de Boer's farm one last time. I realize that time passes and brings many changes.....but it was hard for me to say good-bye to "the farm" so I took MANY pictures. Following that, we spent some time at the nursing home with Gpa and Gma - I even got a few smiles from Gpa!! On our way up to Brookings, SD, we stopped by to see Gpa and Gma Krisher - that was very special as we haven't seen them in over three years. Today we spent several hours at the site of Laura Ingalls Wilder's homestead site near De Smet, SD and I, of course, took many pictures! We also toured the two different homes within De Smet, SD and tomorrow we will tour the museum at Walnut Grove, MN. The kids have done GREAT considering the number of hours we have logged in the car. Pictures to follow upon arrival at home!!
