Part of the 4th and Summer Vacation!!!
Posted: July 8, 2008 in Just For Fun, South Dakota, WyomingTags: 4th of July, vacation
Part of our 4th of July was spent watching the hotdog eating contest. This is time we will never get back, but we just couldn’t seem to look away!
I am off to vacation with my family for the next few weeks. We have plans to travel the Oregon and Mormon trails through Nebraska and Wyoming and will spend some time on the Missouri River in far southeastern South Dakota. The best of our time will be visiting grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins (especially Noah!!!). If we come across an interesting tid bit I will share here. In the meantime hang out with your family and friends! 🙂
