Camp Clark just returned from a 10-day trip to Bismarck and we all had a great time. The kiddos got a chance to spend LOTS of time with all 3 sets of their grandparents, visit Papa's Pumpkin Patch with their cousin Eastynn (pony rides, train ride, hay bale climbing and mazes, lots to do!!), check out the local parks and play outside, share lunch with mommy and her dear friend Lori, and hang out with their cousins Anna, Faith & Baby Jordan at a hotel in Fargo for a NDSU Bison football game (lots of swimming). Dave got a chance to golf with his dad several times which is one of his favorite things. They even took Dylan along one day and he gladly took over driving the golf cart and taking a few shots himself. The kiddos also got to see 1/3 of the infamous Memorial Bridge being imploded which just about scared the daylights out of them. Dave had to get as close to the site as possible which made for a very loud "BOOM", one which I heard clearly from my mom's condo about 5 miles away. Needless to say, LTD came home talking non-stop about the bridge and are still talking about it.
Bismarck is always a breath of fresh air after living in the Cities for so long. People are just so genuine and "real" and it makes me homesick for our family and friends who we rarely get to see. It's amazing and wonderful to drive only 5-10 minutes to get anywhere in the city! Perhaps there is still hope we can move there someday and raise our children in a conservative, safe, small community like we were raised.
The pictures above are from a day at Papa's Pumpkin Patch and reading a book with Papa Clark in the hotel room in Fargo (after the Bison football game) with cousins Anna & Faith.
