Thanksgiving in South Dakota

Last week we all headed to Sioux Falls, South Dakota to spend the Thanksgiving holiday with Josh's family. Thankfully its a pretty quick trip (less then 3 hours in the air). Zachary did great, he completed his 12th plane ride! We were there for 5 days and enjoyed every moment. It was great seeing Josh's folks home in SD (they just moved back to SD last spring). Zachary was able to meet his Great Great Grandma and three of his Great Grandparents. The only bump in the entire trip came once we landed in Dayton. We had a layover in Chicago and somehow they didn't get all of our bags onto our plane headed to Ohio---the one they missed, our car seat!!!! Thankfully when Rachel picked us up we used Porter's seat to get Zachary home. Once we where home Zachary was SOOO thrilled to see his own bed! The next day he just wanted to play in his bed and with the books in his room---He was happy to be home :)

We had a great time and look froward to our next trip!

As we exited security at the Sioux Falls airport this sign greeted us! Its was just too funny not to take a picture.

Zachary grew to LOVE playing with Buddy--it was best when he could look down at the dog, he would just laugh and laugh at the puppy

One of our final stops was the falls in Sioux Falls. I am the dork that had no idea there were actually falls there--the best description--they are gorgeous river falls (bet its beautiful in the summer)
