The Wedding
We were able to schedule our time in Huron so we could attend my cousin's wedding. It was a beautiful ceremony and was a great way to see lots of family! The bride was stunning!
Goin' Fishing
Caleb was loving his outdoors time with his Grandpas. The weather was perfect our entire visit to South Dakota. My sister and her husband were able to come visit us and Uncle Adam wanted to go fishing. So Caleb was excited to try to catch a fish.
We didn't see very many fish but we did find a lot of frogs. Even the dog got into frog catching.
Such Pretty Frogs!
Caleb tried hard to catch a fish and learned how to cast like a pro. No luck however!
Can you see the frog in there?
Jami and Adam enjoyed their fishing time together.
Father/Son Time
After trying hard to find a fish, Grandpa suggested we catch some frogs and try to catch a big fish on the James River. So Brydon and Adam went frog catching.
We headed over to the river and Grandpa put a frog on the line. I have to admit that putting a hook through a live frog is a bit much for me. I couldn't do it!
We got a few nibbles on the frogs but still no luck catching a fish.
I grew up having family get togethers on the banks of the river here. The family still owns the property and it is a beautiful location!
Birthday Boy!
Caleb's 7th birthday was coming up soon and so both families decided to celebrate while we were home. The Manning family had a sweet little get together and the Barton clan all got together for dinner, cake, and horseback riding.
Family birthday's have been rare with Caleb so it was fun to have all the family together.
They all did a good job of spoiling him!
Check out these pistol cowboy boots!!
My grandma, 2 of my Aunts, and my Uncle all went together to get Caleb these boots.
He loves them!! And was so excited to try them out!
We always value time with Great Grandma and are so glad we got to see her.
Cowboy Caleb!
I grew up horseback riding and it has been fun to watch Caleb love it. He of course loves animals and was a great little cowboy.
Uncle Adam even tried out horseback riding for the first time!
Two Crazy Boys and a Sweet Pony!
Eventually even Brydon and I joined the crew and all rode horses until dark. My cousins and I used to ride in this same lot as kids as we practiced for the State 4-H Horse Show each year. It was fun to hang out with the cousins again and watch our kids play together.
Giddy-Up!
Heading to Aberdeen
My sister and her husband live up in Aberdeen and so we packed up Grandma and Grandpa's new camper trailer and headed up to Aberdeen for a visit. Caleb was super excited to spend the night in the new camper!
Miniature Golf
We decided to try out a game of miniature golf with the family.
Brydon and I are not golf people and honestly don't have much patience for the game (well I particularly don't). Unfortunately Caleb got my impatience and was happy to just cruise through the game as fast as possible. None of this competitive, take your time, stuff for us!
When that volcano explodes, watch out! It is hot!
This was Caleb's favorite hole. The ball heads down the stream to the lower green. He could have golfed this hole all day.
The family put up with Caleb's quick rush through the game and we had fun!
Storybook Land
While Rapid City has Storybook Island, Aberdeen has Storybook Land. They are very similar and some of the displays are the same. We had a rush through it a bit but it was a fun stop.
We had so much fun seeing family and enjoying the outdoors of South Dakota!
It was a great 2 weeks and we are so glad we got to visit this year.
