So special to get a picture with Papa and Gigi (their great grandparent names). I'm thankful for each great grandparent picture we get to take. The girls have 5/8 great grandparents left living, and seeing them is a treasure!

Rapid City trip 2021- part 1.
The girls and I took a trip to Rapid City, SD to visit family and we had tons of fun! Kley had to stay back to work and we missed him, but are grateful we could go. My maternal grandparents live there as well as an aunt and her family. My cousin has one daughter, Taylor, who is 8 and it was so fun to watch her and the girls together. Taylor and Norah hadn't seen each other since Norah was one (so basically it was like them meeting for the first time), and none of my aunt's family had met Lucy and Ellory yet. So sad that it's been that long, but glad we could make it happen. There was a Christmas gathering a couple years ago that we missed because we were all sick, so it had been far too long since we had seen them. We had seen my grandparents sooner than that thankfully, but it had still been a very long time due to COVID. Everyone but my brother and his family was able to come from my family, and one cousin and aunt/uncle were able to come from Chicago also. Yay!
We rented a place where we could all stay together, which was great to have a common area where we could all hang out and all see each other more staying in the same place. It was beautiful! The girls kept commenting on the pretty views and all the hills!
