When we left home, it was quite cool. I think the forecast high for the day was about 18 C (64 F) and after a week long "heat wave", it was a nice break. The weather wasn't much warmer when we picnicked in Grand Forks Friday night, but by Saturday noon, we were feeling the increasing heat in Sioux Falls where we stopped for lunch.
In the above picture, we had stopped to picnic just after passing into Missouri on Monday, July 25.
It was HOT and there was hardly a breeze!
The boys took turns holding the frogs for pictures. :)
This is Brandi, a friend I met on FYM two years ago. We have emailed each other practically every day for the last year and a half, sharing our struggles and workouts and encouraging each other in parenting (she has 4 children, aged 11, 9, and 7 year old twins)
and growing as women of God. She has been such a blessing to me!
It was so fun to finally meet her and her children.
Here we are waiting in line for lunch on Tuesday.
We ate at a very fun restaurant called Fritz.
Mini trains ride the rails above your head (about a foot from the ceiling)
and deliver your order to you.
Wyatt was mesmerized!
There was about a 20 minute wait and the kids got to sit in the little train
that was located just outside of the restaurant.
Wyatt loved this little passenger car! We had a hard time pulling him away from it.
Natalee and her new friends. This is Natalee smiling. :)
Wyatt the Conductor.
He was hungry.
We checked out a wildlife exhibit after lunch. The kids could put on these vests and the pockets were filled with binoculars, flashlights, magnifying glasses, and mini clipboards.
Caleb is sitting in a seat here and they had to pull themselves up the rope.
Andrew had a great time at this exhibit!
The splash pad outside of Crown Center.
The water/fountains were synchronized to music, so the water stopped and started at
seemingly random intervals. It was a lot of fun on such a hot day!
The forecast high for that day was 97 F/36 C.
