Ditch Creek Campground - August 2010

We went on our first camping trip since moving to South Dakota in August at Ditch Creek. This campground is about 40 minutes from our house. Beautiful primitive campsite. We took our tent (the girls stayed with Grandma) as the weather had been so nice. I believe it got down to 39 degrees that night! Brrrrrrr!! Rowan was such a trooper. He got so worn out by all the fun and fresh air. Once the tent was set up and the beds were made, he crawled right in to go to sleep....we hadn't even had dinner yet! He slept all night under about 4 blankets! HaHa! We had a great time!

Night night, everyone!






Rowan so wants his own "big 4-wheeler". We'll stick with a Fisher Price one for a while longer!

Bad to the Bone....Bbbbbad!

I can't help but think of that song every time I look at these pictures! We had an opportunity to go to the 70th Annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in Sturgis, South Dakota, this August. We had such a great time...definitely a fun place to people watch!! You can't believe how many bikers from all over the country come to this event. There are even people who come from out of the country! We will definitely be back next year....maybe on our own Harleys!

Tatum and Parker's First Birthday

Tatum and Parker spent their first birthday in South Dakota as we had just moved up a couple weeks prior to their birthday (we won't tell them their brother had 3 parties for his first birthday!). They started the day with pancakes and bananas with milk (still their favorite breakfast!). Then we spent the rest of the day relaxing at Canyon Lake Park, catching some sunshine and some cute pics! We spent the evening at home where our friend Kristin and her boys came over to help celebrate with some pizza and cake! The girls were so tired by the end of the day that their presents had to wait until the next morning (much to their brother's dismay! :) ). Still can't believe our girls are a year old. They change so fast...we are definitely trying to cherish every moment.
