Nort'Da koata

I know you've all been DYING to hear about our North Dakota trip - well, here it is.

Brenna did SO WELL in the car. It was her first major trip (14 hours) and thanks to Baby Einstein Videos and an entertaining Grandpa, she did great.


Of course she fell asleep RIGHT BEFORE each gas stop when we were planning on letting her get out and stretch. Silly girl.

Checking out all the new toys with the Grandparents

Brenna LOVED my dad

and she LOVED the cats on the farm

they really didn't know what to think of her - I don't really think they liked having a baby around!

Checking out all the random decorations at the farm house.

The barn is falling down!!

My old house

Old time thresher

the "famous" Danielson rock

It was SO sad that Mom, Stuart and I were all so sick with colds that week. I didn't get to see very many people but I did make it to the church one night for their craft night and we got to see some of the Billings family. Thanks again Debbie for the fun gifts - Brenna loves them.

My Mom has chimes all over - and of course Brenna had to play with them every time she saw one:)

This deer hanging in my brother Stuart's room was her all time favorite. She LOVED it and had to pet it every time we entered or exited the room!

Tyson came to pick us up and Brenna was so funny when she saw him - it was almost like she wanted him to know she was mad at him for being gone so long. She wouldn't let him hold her and she cuddled into my shoulder (and she's not a cuddler). She finally warmed up to him though and she must have forgiven him;) I felt so bad, but ever since then, she's really snugly with him. She sure loves her Dad.
On the drive back home, we stopped at a rest area near Medora, ND and saw a sign that said something like "Caution, wild Bison". We laughed and Tyson said something like, "wouldn't it be funny if one was right by the bathroom"? Well, there was - and it was right by the bathroom door when I wanted to come out! Silly thing!

Brenna did an awesome job on the drive home too - we were so shocked but most of all we were so happy that she did so well. We had beautiful weather for the drive and even made it through the mountains before it got dark. It was a short trip, but well worth it. Thanks Mom and Dad for the fun time and THANKS to Tyson who's idea it was in the first place!!


Here are a few videos of the day we spent out at the farm:)

I laughed about your buffalo story. The north end of the park has signs also with the addition that for some reason the sound of flushing toilets attracts the buffalo. :) Glad you had fun!
