South Dakota Visit

Thursday, July 7th, Mommy, Daddy and Nolan made a trip to Rochester for some quick appointments on Friday morning.  Mabel and Landon stayed with Grandma and Grandpa Kruse for the night.  Friday morning we went to the appointments and then made a stop at Fleet Farm before heading toward Sioux Falls.  We got to Sioux Falls on Friday early afternoon and hung out at the hotel until supper time.  That night we were meeting up with Mommy's cousins for supper!  It was very nice to catch up with some of them that night without having to chase after kids!  Saturday morning we got up and then Grandma and Grandpa were coming up to Sioux Falls to meet us for lunch and then go to the zoo before the Kruse wedding that night.  We met Great Grandpa Arnie for lunch and then went to the zoo.  It was a great day for the zoo and we saw all the animals we wanted to see.  After the zoo we headed back to the Grandpa Arnie's house to hang out until we had to leave for the wedding.  Mommy's cousin Chris was getting married that night at a winery outside of Inwood.  The wedding was outside and a pretty setting but the kids were tired and so we headed back home before the dance.  The kids slept most of the way home!

Cool dude with the zebra in the background!

Landon and Daddy went the long way around and found the rhinos!

We all loved the little monkeys that were moving all over and there was a baby on a mommy's back!

Mabel feeding a goat, she didn't want to get too close!

Nolan's turn to feed the goats!

He did a great job with it, they liked licking his hand!

Landon showing his arm span is the same as a Red Tailed Hawks wingspan!

Mabel also loved the big Brown Bear, he was walking all over and playing so she enjoyed watching him!

We finished the zoo! YEAH!
