A Day with Grandkids...

Today we spent the day at Storybook Island in Rapid City, SD. This is a free park that is huge! I've never seen a park (especially a free one) that has so many things to do and play on for kids!

What made it even more special is that we were able to spend the day with our granddaughter, Justisse. Justisse just turned two and before we got to Rapid City Don had never even met her. I last saw her when I was in Okinawa, Japan for her birth. When I came back to the states, she was 6 weeks old! It's been a long time!

Let me tell you...that little girl is solid! You would think that she would be light and thin because she is constantly on the go! It tired me out to keep up with her! She was off like a light! I guess she also reminded me of the Energizer Bunny because she just kept going and going and going!

After the park, we met up with our friends, Jerri & Lloyd Wood and Dottie & Lew Anderson. We all went to the Alpine Inn in Hill City for dinner. We had a long wait since everyone had to wait on us to return from SI. Justisse once again kept me on my toes! She wasn't too thrilled with sitting inside waiting so we went outside and raced up and down the sidewalk! I would lose all the weight I need to if I was around her all the time! Once we were able to be seated and our food came, both Shae and Justisse chowed down! It was a great dinner, great company and we all had fun! Everyone enjoyed meeting Stacy, our daughter, as well.

On the drive home, we made it almost 1/2 the way home before the kids conked out! If I wasn't driving, I might have joined them!
