So awhile back I got back from vacation. I (along with Reid) went to South Dakota from August 23 - September 3. It was a very fun trip and I decided to show you a few pictures...or a lot :P So I hope you all like looking at pictures :) Be ready for a super long post..
On the plane on the way to Minneapolis. We flew there...
...where we were met by Nina, Marcus, Cherri, Martha & Stephen, Lizzie, Sari, Angie, Anikka, and Minda.
After leaving the airport we drove through this huge national cemetary. From almost any direction you looked at the markers they made straight lines. We drove and drove and drove through there - it's huge!
Then we went to Ikea and ate there (about 2:30 maybe? We flew into Minneapolis at 1:20 I think).
Me, Minda, Lizzie, Sari, and Reid at Ikea.
Katelyn (Seppala) Fraki was staying at Cherri's when I got there and stayed till Thursday afternoon. Some of us girls rode with her to Dennis West's funeral and afterwards.

The beautiful sunset.
And the sunrise.. Monday morning I woke up early so I could get pictures and it was really nice to watch.
Wednesday me, Abby, Lizzie, Sari, Angie, Anikka, Ariel, Jenny all went to Watertown together. First Lizzie had a class from 10-12. Becky was also taking it so we dropped off Lizzie and took Becky's kids and went to a few places till they were done with their class.
