Smith Family Vacation

Hello everyone,
I have been meaning to get these pictures from our vacation on the blog for some time and am finally getting to it -- better late than never:) Our family took a vacation the first weekend in June to South Dakota. We rented a cabin on the edge of Rapid City and took in some sites. Dad, Mom, Brian, the boys, and I arrived on Thursday afternoon. Lisa and her family joined us Thursday evening. Lee, Shantelle, and Landon rolled in Friday morning. We had a great time, although the weather was not so great. Just thought I would share a few pictures!

Here we all are at Mt. Rushmore! What a bunch:)

I got these next three pictures out of order -- oh well!

All Kaden wanted to do was to go fishing. So, after we checked into the cabin, we headed down to the lake so he could throw his pole in. He thought it was great! (He did not catch any fish, but told anyone who asked him that he caught 2 -- he definately has tall tale fishing down!! However, he does not have patience to keep it in very long or to take help from anyone else. Needless to say, I think the fishing was a test to Grandpa's patience and learning to deal with a 2 year old!!??

Off to the lake!!

Regan, Payton, Braxton, Landon, Lee, and Shantelle all suited up for a good game of paintball:)

Here we are playing a game of minature golf under black lights.

Little Emily -- what a doll!

On Sunday before we all went our separate ways, we ventured to Chuckie Cheese. Here are Payton and Kyle playing some games.

Jordan and Emily chillin' with Chuckie!

And here is Kaden totally worn out from vacation -- he was out before we even got on the interstate and him and Jordan slept the whole way home:)

We hope everyone is doing well. Looking forward to seeing everyone in August -- it will be here before we know it!

All our love, Laura
