Caden's First Trip

Grandma Debbie found out that she had friday, saturday and sunday off. So, when we were at dinner with grandma, mommy said, "Sounds like it would be a good weekend to go to South Dakota." She said it half jokingly, half seriously. Grandma said that she was just thinking the same thing.

So, of course mommy tells daddy that he needs to get off early because we have a lot to do.

Originally, mommy was working on friday, so we weren't going to leave until saturday morning after we fed Caden. So, we were going to have all night to pack and get things ready. But, mommy just took friday off so we could leave friday night. She checked to make sure grandma was okay with it after she took the night off.

And of course, she was.

We left Council Bluffs, IA around 7:30 PM after eating and dropping a key off to my sister so she can take care of Kira (It was supposed to be 6:30 PM.). We pulled into Arlington about 11:00 PM. My usual 3 ¹/₂ hour drive.

We spent the time visiting family and even visited a local attraction. We went to the "Little House on the Prairie." It's the Laura Ingalls Wilder homestead. It is located in De Smet, SD. It was pretty neat. Of course, Caden didn't pay much attention to anything. We'll bring him back when he gets old enough to actually enjoy it.
