My Mom, Noah, Caleb and I recently went to Philip, South Dakota. It is where my mom grew up and I have gone there almost every summer I can remember. So, finally it was about time the boys were able to go! Unfortunately, Jonathan had to start his first year of Anesthesiology and wasn't able to get the time off. The boys did pretty well in the car, hardly slept at all though... they were way too interested in big trucks, trains, horses and cows :)
Yes, this looks wrong and everything inside me was thinking "this is illegal!" But, we were locked out of our car outside of the Steakhouse in Philip. It was 9:30 or so and we hadn't unpacked anything, so we were desperate to try to get the boys down to sleep somehow while my Uncle Bruce worked with a guy to try to pry the keys out. Amazingly, about an hour later we had the keys and could all go to sleep in our pajamas having brushed our teeth... aww... what a relief...
Playing at a great park with Grandma Mary...
This was precious... Great Grandma Eleanor playing with the boys on the floor...
Everywhere we went there was a new and wonderful box of toys! Every mother's dream... it kept them so entertained...
Visiting Vivian....I sure hope she is feeling better
This is every boys dream land!!!
There was a gorgeous sunset one night with a double rainbow... it was amazing!

The boys were so sweet with the babies... they would hold them and feed them, it was so adorable...

Caleb with his horses sitting in the corral...
At the Badlands on our way to Wall Drug. Caleb got out and put his hand on the ground and said, "Dirt", then went and put his hand on the vertical rock and said, "More Dirt". He's completely right, but it's very beautiful dirt...

Noah preferred this horse :)
They both LOVED riding on this... It didn't last long and I have no idea how many quarters I put in there...
Noah with his construction hat on... he loved wearing it backwards...
So precious...Noah holding the baby while playing...
Julie's boys brought one of their black hens inside to show the boys :) They were amazed to see a chicken inside and so was I!
This Crocodile is in Carson's room. He caught it in Florida and they stuffed it for him... just don't see this everyday....

The boys watching the DVD screens on the way home... they liked them for awhile, it came in handy when they were getting really ancy
Noah and Caleb getting ready for their train ride at Storybook Island. Noah started crying immediately so I grabbed him out, then chased the train around because Caleb was okay as long as I was close...
The sprinklers where on when we got home and the boys were running through them immediately... and the clothes came off fast!
