Truckin' USA

All I have to say is... Holy Crap!! We have too much stuff! A big thanks to everyone who helped us pack it all up!


Isaac in between sleep and wake cycles... me too.Quick stop in South Bend, IN to visit Elder Bubba.
Isaac very much awake during a scheduled sleep cycle.

Aunt Jeanne and Uncle Jerry in Alexandria, MN. Thanks for leeting us crash at your place!

Aunt Diane and Uncle Dennis near Detroit Lakes, MN. We enjoyed a tasty burger at one of Dennis' favorite places.

And then to Uncle Bill's place in Mayville, ND. We got to meet Becky! It was fun to see you guys!

We finally made it to Cooperstown, ND to see Grandpa Tupper!

LOTS of great memories with all my ND family, but the sweetest ones took place here - Red Willow Lake staying with Grandma Margaret and Grandpa Tupper many summers growing up. Much has changed, but not too much. The big tree hanging over the lake no longer hangs, but the view remains the same.

The Coachman... I ate all sorts of funky norwegian foods here, but even more tasty pies and treats.


That's a Jack-o-lope. No comment.
Isaac wasn't quite sure what to think of Billy the friendly bison.

Look REAL close... Can you see four dead presidents? Believe it or not, that's Mt. Rushmore. I won't mention the drive up cruisin at 17 mph in the Penske tank.

About 6 days into it(only two shirts if you've payed attention) and living on sunflower seeds through the Badlands.
Christina's view for 8 days.

The cousins meet! We had some extra time so we swung thru UT to see my parents and my Bro, Annie, Elliott, and baby Wyatt! It was great to see everyone!

He'll be bigger than you soon, mom.

Neighbors

We were blessed with the best neighbors ever. The people who just bought our house are so lucky! Here are some photos from our goodbye BBQ.

Emma and Becka

Elisa and John

Last game night

We couldn't leave town without having the young men over for one final game night. Yeah!

Because of timing with the youth temple trip that weekend, we had to do the sleepover on a Sunday night with Memorial Day the next day. So we played board games until midnight, then pulled out the video games until dawn.
