What we’ve been up to…

The kitchen is 90% done so we decided to take some long weekends this summer and visit family and friends. Our big adventure was a road trip to Minnesota for my cousin's wedding. Along the way, we played tourist in Nebraska, Iowa, and South Dakota. Here are a few pictures from that trip, in no particular order.

A few weekends ago we visited Elk Mountain and helped Jason's parents celebrate the town's 100th birthday! There was a free steak dinner, volleyball tournament, vendors in the park, living history demonstrations, evening dance, luncheon with cowboy music, and the best strawberry rhubarb pie I've ever had! We had a really good time with Dee and Bill and even had time to visit our horse while we were in town.

This past weekend we went camping in La Bonte Canyon. Jason and I both caught fish (catch & release) but my camera battery died so no pictures of those beauties! The dogs went with us and were very well behaved. We managed to squeeze everyone (2 people, 2 dogs) in a three person tent with our overnight bag and slept comfortably.Jason is on the road this weekend for work and I'm off to Georgia to visit family. We hope everyone is well and enjoying the last few weeks of summer.
