Summer Vacation

The Kennedy's got to spend a week away!
We went to Northwest South Dakota where Salyna's Dad & Stepmom live, approximately 762miles and 16 hrs worth of van time! We started in the afternoon after picking up Sydni & Davis from camp and arrived early the following morning. Everyone did pretty well traveling except Lincoln. He wasn't feeling well on the way up there so he was pretty fussy and didn't sleep much. Thankfully it was the complete opposite on the way home!
So what did we do for a week... a lot and a lot of nothing! How is that possible?!

Anyway... after the 762 miles home through nearly 3 entire states...


I'm certain we didn't miss ANY bugs and I lost count of how many times we washed the windshield!



Ok, back to the beginning...
just after crossing into South Dakota we had a welcoming committee, in the middle of the road, black angus probably...


Little travellers always make the trip interesting... not sure when this smile was captured amidst the fussiness, but it sure it cute!


It had been a couple years since our kids had seen there 1st cousin (and only cousin) Gatlin. They all really enjoyed Grandpa & Grandma's vast yard!

The day we arrived was a whirlwind of tiredness, people, and food. There was a large gathering of people for Salyna's stepmom's birthday.
This was the first time Salyna's family (dad's side) had all been together in over 4 yrs. So there was an attempt to have a family picture taken. With Lincoln not feeling well and Andrew fast asleep, we opted to not torture them (or ourselves) for the pictures.
Here is Salyna with her stepbrother, two stepsisters, nephew, dad, & stepmom.... and the dog.

Lots more pics coming in post #2
