July 14-15…. After driving on a 2 lane road in the middle of farm country and viewing thousands of corn fields we arrived in South Dakota for lunch. We found a very cool park in Yanktown, South Dakota where we made lunch, let the kids play, fed the ducks, and endured the major humidity. As we drove through South Dakota we were able to see some very flooded rivers. They are experiencing major flooding in this part of the country this summer, and we were able to see some of the damage. We got through South Dakota and stopped in North Dakota for dinner. The kids had been excellent (with the exception of our first major fit of the trip…thrown by Mr. Andrew, we survived and I’m glad Andrew could get his frustration out). We treated them to their first McDonalds Happy Meals of the trip, which they were very excited about. It was back on the road for about two more hours. We arrived in Fargo, North Dakota around 8:00. It was a very nice city and our hotel was a suite, which felt huge to us. It was the first time we had two rooms in almost 3 weeks. We went for a late night swim and then the kids crashed. We woke up at 5 am to a severe thunder storm, but thankfully the kids slept through it. Andy and I each got in a 5 mile run, the kids watched a few cartoons and went for a swim, and then we made one last stop at Target before hitting the road. Daddy was very patient with our slow morning, as I know he was anxious to get on the road. Thankfully it’s about a 3 hour drive and we will be in CANADA!!!
