and I couldn't even wait until I got there to get some cafe rio... had to stop in Billings, MT.... Haha SO. I was talking to my mom last Thursday at like 11am while my kids were running wild, and chatting about buying Keens on Zulily... (you missed out if you didn't get them-- killer deals.) anywho... I was sad I wasn't going to be able to see my sister Cheryl who was flying in that night from Baltimore, and then I had this idea that Tyler was in Dickinson that night, so if I drove there and spent the night with him, I would be 3 hours closer, then it would only be like a 12 hour drive! SO.... I hurry and cleaned my house, thank goodness the laundry was done the day before, took the car to get the oil changed and the tires rotated, walked over to the mall and met some friends while that happened, then hurried home, threw stuff in the car, downloaded harry potter back onto my ipod, borrowed jenny's portable dvd players, and hit the road at about 7pm!  I made t...

and we love it! The drive through the middle of North Dakota is absolutely gorgeous! Right now there are just fields and fields of sunflowers, it's amazing! I missed it in June, but Tyler said the fields were all in full bloom of yellow and purple blossoms- something used to make canola oil maybe? I am not a great photographer by any means, but I wanted to remember how gorgeous this place we live in is! On the way home from Medora a few weeks ago we stopped by Lake Sakakawea to get some fresh air and let the girls enjoy the gorgeous day! We found the most beautiful bay and funnest campground that we'll have to go back to someday.  The sunflowers are so gorgeous! You have no idea!  Random old school house... These next few were on the way there a few days earlier. We really are loving living here! I can't get over how pretty it is every time I have to drive somewhere! I love it. I love being in the middle of nowhere just 10 minutes outs...
