Our first big holiday road trip of 2010 had us heading west out of Wisconsin to see Finn's cousins. Starting with a stop in Spencer to see Faythe and Macy. The big pond and catching fish. The electric kid car and weeding Aunt Sophi's tomato plant (too bad Finn thought the tomato plant was the weed.)
Then more road time and further west into Dakota where we stopped to have a Dairy Queen lunch and watch Katie and Maggie work and serve ice cream. After Finn finished his ice cream and strawberries we pushed on driven or perhaps drawn to the magic of the Corn Palace.
We made it to Grandpa and Grandma Taylor's and could finally stretch our feet. That night we had a nice dinner with Great Grandpa and Grandma Taylor even Ann and Devon and cousins Van and Penn came over.
On Saturday we drove to Yankton to see Great Grandma Dorothy and Elmer and we were lucky to find other Nielson relatives there. We walked to the park and went down the cyclone slide and tried to get into the road. Then had a broasted chicken lunch at Pam's before heading out to Lake Lewis and Clark to find Uncle Rodney. We found him just as we thought we would and sat out in the lakeside early summer sun listening to Rodney be happy to see us. He was tickled that Ann came with Penn too.
Sunday was the afternoon of having everyone back over to Grandma and Grandpa's for another good meal and play with the cousins and run around the yard and looking for tractors.
Overall we had a very fun time and Finn is gaining the age where getting together with cousin's is building the memories his parents treasurer about their youth. Finn was also an absolute brilliant traveller. For that we thank him.
