Snowin' in the mountains!!!

Abby called me yesterday and asked me if it was snowing here. It has been alot. Here are a couple pics of the snow. It melts some but we have a good inch on the ground all the time.

Ok, we are not Bronco's fans but.....

This is my favorite Bronco's fan Natalie. Her mom, Holly, and dad, Todd, are great friends of ours so I had to post these precious pics of her. Go Bronco's - NOT!!!! Go Vikings as always.....

We also went to the Sioux Falls Zoo while we were camping. Abby and Kelsey had alot of fun. Here are a few pics. We went of the merry go round and rode the train!

A Happy Retirement Camping Trip

My dad retired July 30th and when we asked him what he wanted to do to celebrate, he said "Go camping with my family." So that is what we did. Jake and I met my family at the Yogi Bear Jellystone Campground in Sioux Falls, SD. It was sort of half way between MN and CO. Abby & Kelsey really loved Yogi and BooBoo. Here are some pics.....more to come......

The Kramer Family

When I was home for my grandfather's funeral, I got to spend some time with my family. Especially my nieces. We had so much fun....
