Labor Day Weekend in South Dakota

We headed to my parents out Friday morning.  We got some sad news on our way home that Great-Aunt Dobbie had passed away during the night in her sleep.  We are really going to miss her. She was the last one of all her siblings to go.

We got back around 12:30 and then had lunch and went around Rapid shopping. Friday night we met up with Larry & Tera at Applebees for some drinks and catching up. It was great to see them.

Saturday we ended up going shopping at the mall in the morning and then went up to ride the alpine slide in the afternoon. We all enjoyed that and then went to Armidillios for ice cream afterwards - yummy!!  That evening we went to Sheila & Mike's for supper. We got to watch the Husker game too!

Sunday Gary & I went on a motorcycle ride through the hills with Chris & Lucy, Gary's dad, and Brian Naescher. We went out Sheridan Lake road to Sugar Shack for lunch. Then went up to Lead/Deadwood and down through Cheyenne Crossing through the canyon to Spearfish. Then we split off from the group and went and saw Bonnie and Kathy & Delbert at Wild Bill Campground. They were having a family reunion there. Then we headed back to town and came in over by Canyon Lake. It was a fun day.

That evening Mike & Sheila and Aunt Nadine were at Mom's for supper and then some of us sat in the hot tub. 

Monday morning we all went out to breakfast at Marlin's and then we got home around 5:00 that evening.
