But we had to travel through a few other states to get there and that was experience, too! The first state was Colorado, but I lived there a few years of my life and been there and back again. But it was so fun to go back and see where we once lived and relive memories there. One memory is, swallowing a paperclip and having to get an X-ray. I was so scared and angry about having to go to a doctor I told my mom, "They don't even have doctors anymore, Mommy!" :D Ah, those days! :) Prepare for nostalgia galore!
We hadn't even gotten half way down our road when, what-do-ya-know, we had to turn right back around to retrieve some random forgotten item! :) But we finally got on our way!
Here we are! In Burby, still in South Dakota! But I, still enthralled completely with my new camera, could not restrain myself from taking pictures!
Billy, playing battleship, and grrring and hissing every time he lost. :)
Random Ethan picture of him expressing himself!
he just looks annoyed, he's not really. :D
"Yes, Kayla! We know you love your camera! Now put it back in the new orange case I bought you and leave it there!" :D
It's going to be a loooooong trip! :D
Blue star bursts help a lot. :)

Grandma and Grandpa. :D
Mom! There's a weird girl sitting next to me who keeps taking
pictures of herself and staring at me!
;)

Ye-haw, cowboy! Ready for Santa Fe!
Like typical Updike's we had to take pictures of the elephants, and look
at all the stuffed animals and watch the waterfall, but not buy a thing. :)
It was so pretty!
STILL going!
We found someone and he let us look inside the old gym.
It looks so small compared to the memory I have of it as a little girl!
I can remember chanting that at basketball games!
holding hands, and being very careful not to let her trip. I was so surprised to see them still there! :)

when I was a little girl!
Reliving memories with each step!
Talking about old times and old friends. :)
This is the church we used to attend. Dawna, for memory's sake,
watching for Grandma and Grandpa when they came to visit!

wanted to stop and remember!
It was raining so hard! But we got a picture or two!

Dawna and Ethan yelling, "Hurry up, Kayla! Take the picture!" :)
Well, that was our first day of travel! It was so very fun, so very cramped, but so very delightful!
More to come! ... Soon. :D
