We're home!!!

Well 4700 miles and 64 hours later we made it to Snow Lake and back home!! We had an awesome time and loved seeing our friends and family back in Manitoba. The girls traveled so well. It helped having grandma on the way there but they still did really well on the way home! The traveling was pretty uneventful.....no van problems, no tickets, lots of smoke from the forest fires and lots of road work!! We never made any stops on the way to Snow Lake but made our way down to South Dakota to see Mount Rushmore on the way home. We always went to some crystal caves, Old McDonald Petting Farm, The Reptile Gardens and Bear Country USA. It was really busy that day but we had a blast.

We were in Snow Lake for a week but that wasn't enough time to get all the visiting in. The weather wasn't very cooperative either! We saw ALOT of people at the July 1st Social but it was hard to actually visit and unfortunately that was the only time we got to see some old friends. We were able to see some more of my family in Winnipeg on our way home which was nice. Now here are a bunch of pictures of our time in Snow Lake with our friends and family!
