Visit to South Dakota






We love visiting our family in South Dakota and had another great vacation over the 4th of July! We took a 13 hour car ride with both kiddos and they did great. Layton drove the journey and we enjoyed our first car trip in our new Jeep Commander. The 3 row seats came in handy with a little newborn and toddler! Visiting Grandma and Grandpa Sandve in Huron and an afternoon with them at Storybook land was great fun. We spent a few days on the lake with Grammie, Grandpa Bob, Maggie and Matt. Lots of visitors to meet Max for the first time and of course to see how big Abby has gotten. Grandma Great made Max his very own blankets (which was Abby's favorite gift from her when she was born). Max is very lucky to have been able to spend some time in all 3 of this great grandparents arms on this vacation. We also had a bridal shower and bachelorette party for Jennifer (Weishaar) while we were home. It was the first night out for me and very enjoyable. Layton gave Max his first bottle and that went very well while I was out with Jenn and the girls. Yea Max! The vacation was great, as always, and even more reasons to wish to have a longer vacation in South Dakota! Thanks for the great memories family and friends. Can't wait to be back in SD over Christmas (even if that does mean there will be snow!)
