MILK

So my parents are now back in Rapid City for the summer and we are all living together as one big happy family! They have been great about letting the kids run their roost, except when it comes to the milk. My dad only likes 2% milk and I only buy fat-free skim for our family. The kids quickly caught on to Grandpa's really good milk and help themselves to it regularly.

Or they did, until this morning:

 Olivia is the only on that can read so I'm not too sure how effective this is going to be. And even she was not going to take this sitting down. The next morning Grandpa found this:

The war of the milk is officially on.

DIAPER

We are having a little issue with Bennie boy keeping his diapers on. We find them all over the house when he's awake and tossed out of his crib when he's sleeping....in a soaking wet puddle of pee, mind you. He doesn't quite get how this is unacceptable.

Some days it works better than others:

MEMORIAL DAY

Our Memorial Day this year was simple and oh so relaxing! We called some friends that morning, picked up some chicken on our way to the park and met up with them for a really nice afternoon. That evening we hot-tubbed and grilled with Grandma Joan and Grandpa Warren!

These two were thrilled that Grandma made them corn on the cob!

BEAR COUNTRY

We love this place. It's probably our favorite South Dakota tourist spot. It's a drive through park with all kinds of cool animals that roam around, often right next to the car! Today we visited with my parents, hoping to see the new baby bear cubs!
