This last weekend, My hubby and I went to Missouri to collect his kids for the summer. I took lots of pics and will explain as I go.

This is my new Happy Place. We went and played in this little river, catching crawfish, minnows, and rocks. (my oscars are very happy with their presents.)

And for those who may never see, These are the edge of The Badlands in South Dakota on our way home.



And this is the dinosaur at Wall Drug for those of you who have heard of Wall Drug


Hope you all enjoy the pics.

It looks like you had fun Nicki , I got a few pics too but we were so rushed I didn't get the ones I wanted. I'm glad you're home safe and sound

Thanks Sins, I am glad you are home safe and sound also. Please load pics!!! All and all it was an Ok weekend. I am very happy to be home with all my babies.

Most of them were taken from the car going 70 mph lol, I'll post them on this thread if you don't mind.

The ones I posted of the badlands and of the dinosaur were taken driving 85mph. LOL I am a speed queen and I wasn't stopping for anything.

We see the billboards for Walls going into SD, Terry said there are 100's of them and then when you get there its a lot smaller than they make it sound. I still wanna go
This is the Mississippi River, he slowed down to 55 for it.

This is the Minnesota River where we actually stopped for 5 minutes. We were in the middle of a million miles of cornfields and I told him if he didn't stop I was gonna pee in his car.

It was very muddy even though we haven't had rain.

Terry, making sure the fish didn't watch me pee

A old schoolhouse built in the 1800's...I love old buildings.

Thanks Sins, Those are great pics. I love the one of Terry making sure the fish don't watch. LOL

He's the most wonderful man ever Nicki, he's the smartest man I've ever known but also wise...those 2 don't always go together. He's funny and kind and more generous than he should be. Nessa was 15 when we moved here and one of my favorite memories is hearing her talk to one of her friends while they were doing homework. The girl asked her why the sky was blue and Nessa said "Let's go ask Terry, he knows everything" and he explained in a way they both understood. He's told me how tv and radio signals are sent and received and made me understand some about physics....not that I remember now of course but at the time I was getting it I can do some car repair now because of him and to get the smell of onions off your hands hold a stainless steel knife in your hands under cold water for a few seconds. I could brag about him all day but I won't bore you lol

Lol. I am so happy for you.I wish we all had your kind of luck!

it looks like you both had a great trip!!!
well done

Yeah i like the ones with the gun....
I'm from Holland and you can carry seveal ounces of weed and other drugs without the police saying anything.
But carrying a gun,whoa, that's very bad.
I Like Holland:woohoo:

Can imagine my life being different if things were the other way around!
