thanksgiving in s.d.

South Dakota, that is! We got to visit Cory's family over Thanksgiving. It was wonderful and Kay and Spike spoil us with good times and amazing food.
We met up with Cory's grandmother Jean and went to The Journey Museum. Jean has an item on display at this museum and can always get in for free and get tickets for any of her guests. We were immediately won over when we saw a triceratops skull in the entrance. And I 'm not sure what Mataya was wearing, our motto with that girl is "just roll with it"!
Spencer digging for a dinosaur bone.
And Parker checking out some deer antlers.

These boys are obsessed with birds. And Spencer's face is saying, "I'm too cool for school."
This picture describes the picture above it. This is the item of Jean's that is on display. It's a human hair wreath. It took Phoebe 27 years to make. It it really amazing and so detailed! How cool it was to show our kids something in a museum that belonged to their ancestor!
Spencer was like 85% sure that cougar blinked.


These were the bulk of the pictures I took from our trip there. We had such a wonderful time. Cory took the boys to a hockey game, the boys went hunting the day after Thanksgiving while the girls shopped, we ate at Taco John's, the kids did a little sledding, and we made it home safe and we sure enjoyed visiting the Wild West!
