mount rushmore and little house on the prairie

Okay... I had to share a pic or two with you of our trips in SD this month. We tell the kids that they are getting in on some pretty good field trips! :)

One stop we made this month was to Mount Rushmore. Benjamin thought it was the bomb and we're thinking maybe we'll go back sometime in the winter?? We went there the Saturday before we spoke in Lead, SD.

Another weekend we spoke in Watertown, SD and decided to swing down to the Little House on the Prairie in De Smet, SD. We're not that far in the books, yet, but you still get the idea! :) The kids had a blast there making jump ropes, corn on the cob dolls, petting kitties, and riding ponies! We did recognize some of the things from the books, too... The kids loved seeing Pa's fiddle and of course, the covered wagon...


Both those churches were lovely places to stop, on top of getting to be tourists, too. We have enjoyed being a part of the SD churches. It's fun to be a part of a church family for a day. And always fun to get home to our church family, too. Now we're blessed to have two church families again... here in Williston, and back in Grand Forks. I love the church body of believers!
