Vacation vs. Mosquitoes

The air was swarming with the little buggers.  The heat and humidity were so far from our breezy, 70 degree home.... And the battle was on Vacation vs. Mosquitoes


This equation sums things up:  (Family > Mosquitoes + Humidity)= Great Vacation

The mosquitoes had no chance against the family factor... Family= Great Vacation no matter what!

Where? You may ask was this vacation (and the mosquitoes so you can avoid them)... It all went down in America's heartland- the great state of South Dakota.

We enjoyed:

A good old fashion Midwest 4th of July including: our own fireworks (the kind you can't find on either coast), a hometown parade, a festival in the park, and lots of this:

Some of the things I had during childhood vacations in Huron.  Walking the dogs, paddle boats, and ice cream at Zesto.

Grandma and Grandpa's 60th Anniversary including: A sweet limo ride!

Their marriage is a great example of love and commitment.
HAPPY 60th ANNIVERSARY!
Partyin' in the limo!  We'll get a limo when we celebrate 60 years too!

Visiting the Winter Quarters Temple and visitors center.
Two layovers in Phoenix with this to look at:


Makes my heart yearn for AZ sunsets... they're hard to beat, even without a cloud in the sky.


And now we're missing these faces!





Not Pictured- Still  Missed: Ben and Elaine, Perry, Joseph, Grandma and Grandpa, and all the Burnison relatives.

We love you all!  It was great to see lots of you this summer.  Hopefully we can see you again soon.

Loving you always,

Margo
