The Last 2 Years: July 2013

Even though we had just seen them, Nathan and Leaa planned a trip to come out to the RCSD for some fun in the Black Hills.

*Hiking the Badlands:






*New Van:  The Ron Burgundy



There is a loft in our garage and it has become the cul-de-sac Club House.  Our kids along with Jayda and Jenna Bohnenkamp have decorated it, made rules of conduct that each kid has to sign and abide by, made mailboxes to send each other notes, and added a fan and radio for comfort.  It really is a work of art.  Once a quarter they go through and clean it out, rewrite the contracts and make new rules.  I decided to take a few pictures before they started over again. 




*Run or Dye (July 27, 2013):
 
Before (obviously)

getting colored up before we run



post run: it was a complete success.  Ainsley ran the last mile (we strolled her the first few)

One great thing about living right on I-90 and 20 minutes from Mt Rushmore is that there is never a shortage of people passing through.  Our friends from Ohio, Morgan and Melissa Ethington and crew, stopped in on their way home from visiting family for a few days.  It’s always fun to play tourist; usually seeing or visiting one thing we haven’t seen yet.
