South Dakota!

We headed to Rapid City and Spearfish over Memorial Day weekend.  Apparently millions of raindrops had the same idea because it rained almost the entire time we were there.  We took advantage of a break in the weather to take the girls to Story Book Island in Rapid.  My niece Elyse joined us. 

Elyse, Josie, Bailey & Miles crossing over the entrance.

This was one of the only times the girls were all together.  The "big" girls got to head off on their own and we only saw them for the occasional check in. 

Josie's impression of a pig.

She was so excited to see Piglet and kept hugging him.

Hugs for Winnie the Pooh too.

Cinderella!

Giddy-up!

And even more hugs for Snow White.

I adore this picture of Josie looking out of the train window. 

We passed Dad and the big girls while we were on the train. 

She wishes she was a mermaid like Ariel.

Despite the chilly weather we had a great time. 

All pooped out.

 After spending a night with our friends in Rapid City we headed to Spearfish to stay with Uncle Traig.  It continued to rain and rain and rain.  In the evening we had an hour or so when it let up, so we decided to get out of the house for a walk.  Spearfish is such a beautiful city!

I should have zoomed in on this picture before I posted it, but Josie was so cute holding Uncle Traig's hand. 

Aunt Laura was nice enough to carry Josie part of the way.

The girls spent part of the trip home holding hands.  They are so sweet when they aren't fighting.
