Happy September!
Tim's Mom, who the girls call "Omi", is currently flying back home to North Carolina after spending a week with us here in Kansas. We decided it might be fun to take a short trip while she was here so we hopped in the van last Wednesday and drove to De Smet, South Dakota. You might wonder why De Smet? De Smet is also known as "Little Town on the Prairie" and was home to Laura Ingalls Wilder for many years. We had a wonderful time and learned so much about Laura, her family and the pioneer way of life. It fit perfectly with our current study in history. I highly recommend visiting there! I will list a few websites if you'd like to take a peek yourself...and I'm trying REALLY hard to learn how to post pictures of our own from the computer! (Keep checking back!)
We had a great visit with Omi, and are thankful for the memories we made. I think her favorite part of the trip was having to guess, several times coming and going, how many miles we'd driven since leaving home. This is something Tim has enjoyed torturing me with ever since we started dating! FYI...it's 399 miles from our street to De Smet.
