Home at last.........

We got to Baton Rouge on the 6th of July. The night before we stayed at our son's house so we didn't have to arrive in BR at midnight. It was good to be home but I miss South Dakota and the weather up there and of course my mom. I enjoyed my stay with my parents and hope to do it again in about 6 months.
Since last I blogged everyone arrived in Gettysburg safe and sound and we had a roof over our heads and had a great time. The weather turned cool but it was ok. Mark and Asher loved the parade, they liked being able to walk just about everywhere. We hit the bakery for donuts several times and that is always a hit with the young ones. Mark and Asher loved playing with their cousins and just plain running crazy. I kept asking Mark if he had made to SD and he said "No not there yet!" He was such a delight as was Asher. Saturday night there was a street dance and Mark entertained us by his special moves. We laughed so hard.
Monday we left for the black hills of South Dakota. The kids did Crazy Horse the first day, the second day we all went to Mt. Rushmore and the third Paw Paw, Mark, Asher, McKenzie and I rode the 1880 train. When we got off Mark turned to me and said "Mimi I had fun!" That made it all worth while.
While in Rapid City we were treated to several dinners at my sister's house. The first night my sister's friends cooked for us and it was delicious. What a treat. the second night we got to visit with one of my favorite aunt and uncles. That is always a special treat to see them.
It is good to be home and get back into the swing of things.
