Worth the "out of the way" ....

Ok.....this is one of my favorite pictures of our whole summer? I don't know why but maybe cause we went out of our way to visit the famed Corn Palace of Mitchell South Dakota which I had been to when I was a kid. I was shocked to be reminded that the original corn palace was built in 1892...."to showcase South Dakota's rich soil and encourage people to settle here"  A lot of history in those husks....pictures upon pictures and a tasty cornball. Who wouldn't want to stop at the Corn Palace?

The Badlands....

His pose for the summer

I keep joking that these pictures look like the Brady episode of the Grand Canyon? This was our Badlands stop on our way to Rapid City. Over 100 degrees....but worth the heat. 

First stop..... the Farm

First stop..... The Farm It didn't take long for Grandpa to ask Anders to get inside the bailer to tighten a bolt!

A quick ride on the mule....
We stopped in Windom to pick up Mor Mor before heading to the Black Hills!
