We decided that we were going to South Dakota (Nebraska and Iowa too.) to see Grandma Kathy and Ben. We began Thursday night and thought we could make good time driving all night. Driving at night is fun because there is less traffic and cooler temperatures. It is also good for the kids to sleep most of the trip away. Kerry had everything packed and arranged and we were off. The drive was good, but days later we are still tired, so I am not sure it was a great idea.
We stayed the night at the Marriott. Went swimming, the mall and the movies. The next day we went to Winter Quarters and it's great visitor's center. Here the kids are packing their wagon. (They made sure to bring 'toys', 'sugar', and 'guns'.)
They dressed up and took turns checking out the sleeping births of the boat.
Pulled the handcart. (much easier inside a building than out.)
Colby and the model SLC temple.
The Winter Quarters temple. (Kerry and I left the kids with Grandma and did a session. It has been my 'high' of the trip so far.) The temple is a 'mini' one, where you have to have an appointment. It was very nice, but very small.
We headed to Council Bluffs.
Checked out Brigham's plans.
Practiced planting corn.
The replica tabernacle.
