1. Stopping to see Great Grandma & Grandpa Neises, Dann & Michele & boys on the way down.
2. Shopping and visiting at my aunt's store--The Artist's Playhouse. I love that place.
3. The Sioux Falls Air Show. Wow! David's favorite was the F-22. Landen said the Navy's Blue Angels (pictured in the sky above them) were "exceptional" and "stupendous"! An estimated 100,000+ people came to the show over the weekend.
Even with the planes flying overhead, I still think Landen's favorite part was the John Deere trolley.
3. Uncle Rick helping the boys catch fireflies on Saturday night.
4. Trying to go to mass at St. Joseph Cathedral and then finding it was closed for renovation. (Not so good.) Many hours later as we were paying our admission to the Butterfly House, Landen explained to the lady behind the counter, "We tried to go to church, but we couldn't!"
5. Spending several hours at Falls Park.
6. Nathan's proud expression after he got a butterfly to land on his finger at the Butterfly House. He is usually a little tornado, but is so patient when it comes to animals. David calls him the "Kitten Whisperer." Now he is the "Butterfly Whisperer" as well.
7. Finally getting to the Bramble Park Zoo. It was a very nice park in Watertown. We had driven by several times, but never stopped before.
Of course, there were many more memories made as well. This vacation was proof that the simplest things can bring the greatest memories.
