A WONDERFUL trip to Rapid City sadly ended on Tuesday morning. The weekend was jam packed with fun day-trips to Keystone for Ol' Time Photos, Spearfish to Wildlife Sanctuary, Chucky Cheese for Malaki's b-day party, Angostura Lake for jet skiing, and lots of fun in Papa and Gran's yard. We also celebrated Father's Day, my mom's birthday (June 21st) and Tina's birthday (July 25).We couldn't have asked for a better weekend.
Happiness is definitely HOMEMADE!!
SPIRIT OF THE HILLS WILDLIFE SANCTUARY
Check out the website and do something to help! It is all run on volunteers and donations. You are given a tour and told stories about all the animals and how they were rescued. Amazing place to visit and definitely recommended by the Olsons and Haggars! Please visit!
Just two of the beautiful "cats" we had the pleasure of meeting.
The kids petting the wooden cats - much safer!
The Haggars love camels! Kyra wasn't so sure though
Kyra and Charlie were picking out the pony they wanted Papa to adopt
Grandma would take all the animals home if she could
Even though Grandma just had surgery, she still got the paints out with Charlie and he appreciates it every time.
Thanks Grandma for the new laptops for the boys!
My dad and husband working in the shop together - a beautiful thing to watch and brought tears to my eyes.

The new play area at the grandparents is awesome and totally dedicated to these kids. Thanks Papa and Grandma for giving these kids such an awesome place to play!

This is our newest family photo! It had to be in a bar due to Tim's beer making hobbie. The boys did awesome and there were no tears! Grandma stood on the side and kept popping M & M's in their mouths. (Keystone) Click on the picture to see it enlarged. The boys' faces are priceless!
