I'm extremely behind on blogging, but I've been wanting to do some posts. So...here it goes! At the very end of June we headed out to the beautiful state of North Dakota. It worked out really nice this year because the girls and I picked Michael up in Fargo while he was there for summer school. Then, at the end of the trip we just dropped him back off. I had to travel for many hours with just the girls which, believe me, was no picnic. But, we made it and the trip to ND was perfect. The top picture is just a shot from the end of the road where my parents live. Such beautiful country!
My parents' place is so nice because the yard is large & sheltered by trees. The girls can run around and we don't have to worry too much about them getting too close to the road. We spent quite a bit of time outside in the sprinkler & kiddie pool.
Eleanor got a golf lesson from Daddy & Bahnka. She really enjoyed it! My Dad sawed off an old club so that it was just the right size for her. We just had to be careful that she didn't swing around Miriam or the dogs.
Being silly...
and being silly again.
Miriam (not happy) & Eleanor (very happy)
We were still able to visit the Dakota Zoo this year, despite all the flooding that happended in south Bismarck. In fact, the week we were there it opened back up. There were several parts that were still underwater, or very muddy.
Miriam didn't want to stick her head in the sign...but, as always, Eleanor was game!
We had such a wonderful trip and we always enjoy our time with my parents and in Bismarck. We hope it's not too long before we can make the long journey again!

Miriam's not happy face makes me laugh - she's so cute even when she's not the happiest! What's she bummed out about anyways? Beautiful girls!! So many memories of the Bismarck Zoo...great times. :)
