Weekend Family Visit

I've been working out in the North Dakota badlands for the past week and a half, and this last weekend my family came out for a visit. During a hectic weekend, we went to some cool places and saw some cool sights. Here are some of the highlights:
















My 6-yr old Grace gives her unbiased opinion of 19th century bedpans.





















Buffalo in Teddy Roosevelt National Park South Unit. Buffalo poop looks deceptively like rocks, the kind my 9-yr old Connor likes to pick up.
















The kids posing on scoria rocks. It's RED!!
















Rock collection. Cool. Rocks made into a fire ring. Cooler. Having a pretend fire in the RV camper. Uber cool!
















Classic Emma moment.
















Youthful enthusiam of watching the coal train fly by one block behind my RV. Every time a train went by, the kids would stop everything and run to the nearest window/door to watch the train. Connor would count engines and cars for every train.





















Roasting marshmallows on a windy, soggy day.


Thank you family for coming out to see me. Thank you Carrie for making the long drive. Thank you kids for spending your weekend cooped up in a small trailer and exploring the badlands in cold, soggy weather. When you left, I cried. I can't wait to come home and see you.

Love,
Dad
