A Relaxing Morning in South Dakota

After waking up this morning and tidying the kitchen/living room area, I sat down with some oatmeal and tea and began to read my bible. I read in 2 Chronicles, Job and Genesis. I wrote some things down and started knitting! Over all, It was a very peaceful morning and I wanted to share it with you guys. 

And just to let everyone know, my etsy shop has been updated! So check it out and tell your friends. :) Have a great Saturday everyone! <3 <3 <3

www.yarning2please.etsy.com will have all of these things for sale(excluding book)! As I read into Kisses from Katie, I felt more and more led to sponsor another child. If all the things in the shop sell, I'll be able to sponsor one from Uganda, Africa as well as Paola Andrea. I should have all of the things on there by the 20th or so (as long as the internet is good) and will begin to sponsor a child if all sells by the end of August. Stop by soon!

Hangin' with the Cousins :)

We made it to Illinois just in time for the Fourth of July!

 Our air conditioner went out, so the cousins found something for us to do every day! The first day we went bowling. 

And MaeBeth made fast friend with Keira!

Jarrett enjoyed bowling the most and ate some popcorn at the bowling alley! How strange!

; )

I didn't do so well, but at least we enjoyed it. : )

The next day (tuesday) we went to go see the fireworks!

Then on Wednesday, the hottest day EVER, we went into great ole Chicago.

Rode the water taxi

Sweeeeet!

Some of the family in front of navy pair

Me, Rachel and Anna on the farris wheel! Cousin Lydia is behind, taking the picture.

Weird, but ok!

Mohawk people at Millennium park. :)

And here she is: The Bean

Luca! :)

Then we all mashed into a taxi and went to the train station to go home.

All the family!

Luca and his frog, Sunday when we all said goodbye. Bye Ya'll (In a THICK southern accent)!! Haha...

Meeting in the Middle

In our next move, we were able to meet with a friend all the way from California!

We stayed at this campground :)

Bob Lucas and Dad, out for dinner (we're behind the camera :P)

Then we went to Detroit and ate at a vegan friendly restaurant. So delicious! :)

Saw Canada across the lake!

Drinkin' our green smoothie at that vegan place.

A little evening tea for MaeBeth and I.

Off to Chicago!! <3<3
