South Dakota - Part 2

Good morning South Dakota!  Here are my sweethearts eating breakfast on their first day at the Stoney Creek  Inn.  (We went to South Dakota to see the Norby's and look at their Oral Surgery practice.  Ryan is considering joining their practice when he finishes his residency.)

After breakfast we went outside to see the beautiful patio.

Jace and Ryan enjoyed the indoor/outdoor pool.  Gracie would not get near it.  She is scared of water.  She takes after her Grammy Blake.

The hot tub in our room was a hit.

The kids took a bath each morning.

Can you see Ryan watching conference in the background?

Don't worry, Gracie entertained herself, which

got Daddy up off the bed!

Jace got invited to attend the elementary school's carnival with the Norby's children.

He had such a fun time.

He really enjoyed tee ball.  I had no idea that he could hit a ball so well.  Either his Dad has taught him, or he is a natural.

Here is breakfast on our last morning.  It was lovely. Jace was in tears because he "was going to miss it."   Grace spilled a whole container of syrup down Ryan's bare legs. Syrup, hairy legs, and paper napkins are  not a fun combination! When it happened, Ryan said dag-nabit-which means Ryan is at his breaking point. 

While Ryan went upstairs to clean himself and Gracie, Jace went outside to see the waterfall one last time.

He cheered right up when I reminded him that we had to go home to get ready to go to Utah to see Grammy and Poppy, and that the Easter Bunny was coming to our house this week, and we didn't want to  miss him.

So all was well.
