Weekend in SD

We typically are in SD the weekend after the 4th to go to the Arts Festival.  I can only remember missing the Arts Festival one other time in my entire life.  But, since my parents moved two years ago and my sister moved last year, we decided not to go.  I missed the taco bags and donuts, but they will taste that much better next year! 

We did still travel to SD to spend the weekend with Grandma and Grandpa.  Derek took Friday off, so we were able to get there at a good time.  After supper, we went to see the Dam.  The waves against the dam were bigger than I have ever seen in the ocean!  It was crazy! 

Saturday was a beautiful day.  We spent a lot of time outside.  We went on walks, picked mulberries, went swimming and played with bubbles.  Derek helped Grandpa around the farm. 

I am sure Grandma and Grandpa won't admit it, but Punky and Buddy were terrors this weekend!  Buddy was into EVERYTHING!  Every cupboard door was opened and emptied... We kept a closer eye on him after he broke one of Grandma's china teacups.  Punky was crabby off and on all weekend.  They both did not sit still at all during church.  I think they acted up so that Grandma and Grandpa wouldn't be too sad when they had to leave on Sunday afternoon.  And to top it off, Punky got sick in the car about 20 miles from home.  We had a great weekend in SD though, so hopefully Grandma and Grandpa will invite us back!
