Before Mark headed back to university and Andrea started her dual credit courses, we took a quick trip to South Dakota. We enjoyed exploring Wall Drug before heading to the Badlands.

Yes, it is possible to travel with assorted sizes of “children”!
In case you are wondering what all fits in the van, we have:
Once we have all that packed, we squeeze in two parents, three full grown (I hope) “children”, one growing-to-quickly adolescent, and an 8 year old.
It is a tight fit, but we always end up with some great memories from our drives.
A rose from the anniversary bouquet that Allan gave me.
On Friday, we decided to visit Wellfield Gardens.
We discovered new flowers. We were really enjoying the Carolina Allspice and could not find its name (could not find name plates for most of the plants this time 🙁 ). A gentleman there heard us talking and gave us a mini lecture about the shrub 🙂
We also enjoyed exploring the new children’s garden. We are looking forward to our next visit already.
We have been getting a lot of rain lately. There is so much standing water the kids have been fishing in the front yard.
Happy National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day!
The sun is out and I am wishing I could be hiking with Allan.
Though, maybe not here. We were hiking “The Crack and the Mudslide” in the Drakensburg. It was the hardest hike I have ever done. It was beautiful though.
After Megan’s soccer game (they won 2-0), we decided hot chocolate was just what we needed.
Today we had fun babysitting my niece’s son. He was a little charmer and the kids had fun spoiling him.
