Taking the animals to the zoo...where they belong!

Last week we made the trek to Bismarck. We began our journey with a trip to the zoo. We tried to leave a few kids there...but the animals wouldn't have it.

For dinner we went to Buffalo Wild Wings...quickly becoming a favorite place to dine!

Our hats advertised successfully for them. We ran into a young family who asked for directions to the restaurant and the next morning their little ones were sporting wing man hats too :) Following the restaurant Greg went off to the temple and I hung out with the little ones in the hotel room. It took Katherine a seriously long time to fall asleep. When she did she literally collapsed during a crazy jumping session...

Good times. Good times.

Mmm...mmmm...Good!

In Eureka SD

We were invited by some friends to go stay in their home in Eureka. It is about an hour and fifteen minute drive to get there but it is still well within our ward boundaries.

I think we wore out our host family, but we sure had a fun two days in Eureka! There was so much to do with all of the horseback riding (real and fake), fishing, riding ATVs, ping pong, etc. in a beautiful small town.

Thank you for coming Grandma and Grandpa! We loved having you!
