Labor Day Weekend in South Dakota!

We were welcomed to South Dakota at Aunt Laurie's house where the fiesta began! We always get spoiled with treats and get to stay up late at her place. 

 We spent the next day in Brookings and visited the Children's Museum. I loved playing grocery store with Kylie. 

 Evan entertained everyone as usual!

 I spoke to a class of senior nutrition students (trying to recruit for grad school at ISU!). Afterwards we visited the Dairy Bar for some SDSU ice cream. I don't know if I have been back to S.D. in the last 14 years without consuming SDSU ice cream! Too bad it doesn't transport well back to IL!

Cousin Elliot had quite the set up in his backyard! The kids had a blast!

In unrelated news, Evan lost his 2nd tooth the night before his 6th birthday! The Tooth Fairy did find him in South Dakota. 

We also attended an SDSU football game- Go Jackrabbits!!

Birthday Bash in South Dakota!

Labor Day weekend we enjoyed an end-of-summer trip to South Dakota. We had such a fun time with family celebrating the boys' 6th birthday! The night before their party the kids rode horses. I think Kylie now wants a horse for Christmas!

 What a better place to have a party than at the farm! Check out this playground! Evan's unfiltered excitement when he spotted the obstacle course with a gravity box attached. 

Thanks Aunt Laurie for the piñata! Filled with sweet treats!

We did make them wait until the very end before the water could be turned on. Who knew how much fun sand, dirt, and water could be?!
