Saturday-South Dakota Style

We decided to go to another of Kyle's pics from the South Dakota magazine. The butterfly house! We had a great time here. It is very well done and we just so happened to come on the day of their new reading room and Cecil the Caterpillar's birthday. There were extra fun things going on and I think everyone enjoyed their time here.

Kyle and Rebecca showing Grandma which butterfly's they want to see. Rebecca ended up being pretty lucky with the butterfly's...she had 2 attach to her clothes and they held on tight for a long time. Clark also made it into the special room without knowing he had one attached to him and a worker came into the room to remove it from him so it would not get lost!
Great-Grandma and Aunt Alice take a rest on a bench. The butterfly's were all around you and on the plants so it was very enjoyable to take a seat and watch them fly by you and land on the plants or the food stations. As we left, they gave each of us a yummy cupcake for Cecil's birthday. We sat outside and enjoyed the sunshine and a treat!
After the butterfly's, we went to catch up with more relatives at the Park. Shirley and Louise who are cousin's of my mom's and children of my Grandma's sister Evelyn put on a wonderful picnic lunch for everyone that came. The park was great because it provided a shaded area for the picnic and conversations but also had a great playground for the kids to explore. Joseph and Savannah attempt to dig some dirt here but team work is not on thier minds.
Rebecca was so happy and excited to meet these girls on the plaground and then they turned out to be cousins!!!! She enjoyed her time playing with the girls and going swinging and sliding.
Visiting with Grandma are Rich (Nancy's husband) and Allen on this side of the picnic bench and Randy and Debbie on Grandma's side. Allen is brother to Shirly and Louise. Randy is Aunt Alice's son, he is also Nancy's brother and Debbie is his wife. Their girls also joined us. Karissa, her husband Dallas and son Wyatt, Libby and Heather. Carla and Cindy and some of their families were also at the picnic. Carla and Cindy are Uncle Herbert's daughters. He is the brother right above Grandma and Alice. Aunt Joyce who is the yongest sister came too.

We had a little bit of rain but it blew thru and was dry in about 10 minutes. It was a nice way to catch up with some of the cousins that were not able to make it to the other events at Aunt Alice's house.

After lunch we headed into Sioux Falls to the Courthouse......
