Kraft family: North Dakota or Bust!

We headed to Rapid City, SD last Wednesday to get an early start on our adventure. The boys were pretty excited that we saw buffalo, deer, antelope, and wild donkeys and 5 mountain goats on the cliff. After supper, we headed to bed and then had an amazing front door experience of a lightening/thunderstorm for a couple of hours. Of course, we chose the room with a view, which meant being higher up than average and upclose and personal with the storm. The next day, we stopped at Dinasour Park in Rapid City for a quick visit before hitting the highway again.

Next, we stopped at Wall Drug(the famous one w/ billboards everywhere in Wall, SD) for a visit and yummy malt for a morning snack. Pretty cool place, lots to see & be sure to bring a camera--we didn't--so you'll have to imagine.

Once we got to Fargo, ND we did a lot of visiting with family, swimming in the pool, and we began the wedding countdown. My cousin, Marci Smith was getting hitched and Adam is the ringbear. It was a fun mini-vacation (If that is what you call going to North Dakota)and we put a little under 1,000 miles on the Red Wagon. Everything went great, even though Adam walked into a lightpost the day before the wedding. We tried to hide it under his cowboy hat and had him wear it a lot to protect him from doing that again. He did a super job and took it very seriously. The flower girl was the goddaughter of the groom, Jacob Erbele. Both boys were able to ride in the stretch Hummer to the reception, they thought that was pretty cool.
