Sioux Falls

Daddy had to head to Sioux Falls for a Senate golf fundraiser so we decided to make a little family getaway out of it. We had a blast! We stayed in a great hotel with a indoor waterpark. This was literally the view when you opened our hotel room door......We managed to fit in as much swimming as possible and tried out all the slides....well, I tried them all out. This is the only one Harrison would go on.
But I finally worked up my courage and on the last morning, I went down the big slide with Daddy!!!


We headed out to the Butterfly House one day as well. We had a lot of fun visiting this place when Christie took us there a couple years ago and we enjoyed just as much this time. Apparently, the butterflies thought Harrison's head made an excellent landing spot too!

You have to look a bit closely, but there is actually a butterfly on the back of the bench that Harrison is sharing a funny joke with....

The last night we stayed with Mom and Dad's friends again because the grown ups had to go to a fundraiser at the Lt. Gov's home.....thank God we didn't scare of their babysitters last time because they agreed to watch SEVEN kiddos again and once again everyone had a great time that night! However, Mommy and Miss Chris are a bit concerned to hear that Harrison and their daughter Mallory shared their first kiss and got married!!!! Yikes....neither one of them is ready for all that! But 20 some years from now, we'd be happy to see the two consider such an arrangement! :)

All in all, it was a wonderful weekend away and Mom and Dad are so grateful to have such easy going little travelers to take on these fun little getaways! We arrived home just in time for Aunt Jen, Uncle Kevin and Bobby to arrive in Gettysburg on their cross (half of the) country road trip. Stay tuned for pictures from their visit!
