Sure looking forward to seeing everyone. Sure do hope our extended family(cousins) makes it too.

Chuck is coming up from Texas, Joni & Mark(significant other), Carla, Ted, Alex, Kat & Stella(great-granddaughter) will be there from Sioux Falls-(yep Joni now lives in Sioux Falls). Dani(Carla's oldest) will be traveling in Europe. Sandi, Katelin & Keith from Washington are flying into Minneapolis, hitting the "MALL" then I will be bringing them to Madison after we spend the night at Don's. Stephanie will still be in Florida with Ty(significant other) so won't make it but Chris will be up for a day from Vermillion(has to work).

Kerry is going over early to help out Vicky and I will be in Minneapolis to pick up Sandi, kids and Chuck on Thursday as that is where he is flying into also.

I am heading off to Wyoming for a week of volunteering at a dinosaur dig with the Black Hills Geological Institute(the people that found "Sue" the T-Rex).

Don & Joanne were here in Pierre for the 4th. Mostly to visit Jamie, Alison & Chloe but Don did manage to spear a 12 3/4 lb. Walleye diving on Lake Oahe-IT WAS HUGE!!!! Beat my biggest by over 2 lbs.

Sally B. said...: How True! Tom has us beat out, at least on the number of kids he has. We'll let him have the prize. I think I have you all beat on grandchilren, with 11, but Tom, again takes the prize with the only one who has a great-grandchild. Yea, Stella!; July 10, 2008 at 2:31 PM
