Memorial Day Weekend

This year we spent Memorial Day Weekend at Lake Mitchell in SD. Our usual spot, Lake Thompson has become quite flooded this year and doesn't look like we'll be going there all summer. But Mitchell was a good time & good change of scenery. The kids all kept busy fishing, playing at the park, going on the paddle boat & even kayaking. Olivia learned real fast that you can't play on camper steps :( Within the first half hour of being there, she biffed it twice on them. She got a little bump/scratch between her eyes, but wasn't too bad for as hard as she fell. We also took in Jessica's wedding shower in DeSmet that my Aunt Jackie and cousins Carrie & Becky gave her. They did a Pampered Chef shower & Jessica got lots of fun things-great idea for anybody getting married!

Sitting at the bonfire-Olivia also did her first S'mores this trip & of course loved them!

The 3 of us out for a stroll

Pat, Olivia, and I on the paddle boats. Olivia did pretty good but the ride didn't last too long. I think she was just bored having to sit still in one spot
