I must say that it really felt good not to have to get in the car and drive for hours today. After getting up at five the last couple of days, we decided to sleep in this morning. While the kids were at church, we took a walk around their neighborhood and then ate breakfast and got cleaned up. When everyone got home, John played some football and kick ball with the grandkids while lunch was getting ready.


This afternoon, we all took a ride over to Falls Park. This park has waterfalls fed by the Big Sioux River and was once the site of the Queen Bee Flour Mill. There are different paths with observation points for viewing the falls. The kids had a good time climbing over the many rocks and throwing stones in the water.



When we were done walking around the park, we took a vote and decided to head over to the Dairy Queen for some much needed ice cream. The boys enjoyed their milk shake, Artic Rush, and Sprite. The adults all had small Blizzards--the adults had ice cream, the boys drinks? What's wrong with this picture??

After enjoying our treat, we returned home for some more visiting, play time, and supper. We will be heading out for home tomorrow after the kids get off to school. The weather is suppose to be sunny, so it should be a nice day to finish our journey back to the north country.
