Fall Break

We traveled to South Dakota to see Gary's mom for 5 days during the girls' fall break from school. When we arrived we were notified that Gary's mom had been at the ER that morning with a kidney stone. No fun for Gammy!! She fought through the pain and discomfort while we were there and is waiting to have a procedure done next week to help pass the stone.

The weather there was truly fall as we experienced crisp mornings and clear skies. We had a great time. The girls enjoyed Canyon Lake where they fed the ducks, feeding the deer and turkeys that come near Mary's house in the mornings and evenings, shopping/playing at the mall, a visit to Reptile Gardens and many other fun times with Gammy. It was a great get away for us and we look forward to having Gammy with us at Christmas. Enjoy a few pictures from our trip!
