We had a family reunion blending Minnesota and Korea for a week. We renamed one of the roads in Custer State Park - barf road - in honor of Audrey who like her mother can't do back seats in a car.

REAL tomatoes at a weekly farmer's market. Spent many days driving in and around Custer State Park. Love that park. But, now it's time to leave. We'll miss the Black Hills. It's such a beautiful place...in the summer. We don't do cold. Time to head west. Lucy's buried in the covers. She says she's not coming out until it gets warmer.

We enjoyed spending some of the Summer parked across from you folks. Tomorrow the sun will come out and it will be back up to the mid 70's.
Audrey asked if we're going to go in the boat with you and Lucy next time we see you!
Hello Grandma Susie! from Audrey.
Audrey also says, "I miss you, Grandma!"
