Summer Time

I apologize for the month long hiatus from the blog...just haven't found the time to sit down, go through pictures, etc...to get a new post up. We have been having a great vacation that has involved lots of trips across the states. Shortly after school let out Harrison and I kicked-off the summer with a trip to Wyo to see my parents and enjoy a little camping and a trip through SD to take him to Flintstone Village, Bear Country and Reptile Gardens. Harrison had a blast traveling through the Black Hills.
After arriving home for a few days, we packed back up and headed East to Iowa for a 12 day stint through the plains. While back home Harrison was able to play with his cousins (which he loved having a constant play companion), we celebrated Bumper turning 90 this August, took a personal tour w/Hoppi through the Jolly Time Popcorn Plant and enjoyed a few days of swimming at the pool. We were even able to squeeze in a quick trip to Brookings, SD to visit TiTi & JoJo and then ended with a couple days of camping with MiMi  & BaBa.

We will begin with the last vacation...enjoy the many pics to follow!

We spent on afternoon at the Children's Museum in Brookings...amazing!




Break...Wyo/SD trip
As many of you know, Harrison loves the idea of hunting and shooting guns. While in WY we went out to close family friends where he was able to shoot his first .22 rifle & pistol...we have a true WY/MT boy on our hands!
We made a stop at Devil's Tower, too!

I wrote a message, but don't see it. Wonder what happened? Anyway, love all the pictures, which capture a great family get together and shows Harrison has had a fun, filled vacation! The photos only make me anxious for next week where we can create some more memories.
Love,
