Adventures in South Dakota

A couple weeks ago we headed north on a road trip to see Grandpa Hudson and Grandma Brenda.....one of our kids' favorite places in the world to be! Casey has been itching to get up there to go fishing with his Dad for months, and we had a difficult time making it happen. Finally he and his Dad both had a weekend free.

Chase did a lot of this while we were there.

I hung out at the house with Chase while the rest of the clan took Grandpa's big boat out on the lake. Here's the catch of the day!

We were asked to bring the Halloween costumes and plastic Easter eggs with us??? They had a fun idea of having a Halloween Hunt for the kids since they never get to spend either holiday with the kids.

Chase LOVED swinging in their backyard! Grandma got back from the grocery store to find him hanging out here. She was so excited because she had just talked Grandpa into hanging the swing up recently in hopes that the grandkids would visit soon and get some use out of it.

We had a huge propane tank when I was little and I loved playing on it. Couldn't resist getting some pics of the kids on this one!

I also took advantage of their willingness to pose for some individual photos. Something that I don't have a chance to do much with the older kids. And they have some beautiful spots for taking pictures!

Miss K hadn't had a nap, so she was a little less cooperative (at first.)

But sometimes unwillingness makes for cute pics!

And she eventually warmed up to the camera :o)

Love how Kyndal's eyes pop in these!
