65th Anniversary of D-day

America has paid a lot for their freedom. Over 15,00 men willing gave their lives for our freedom. Notice how I say "willing". Most of those boys signed up before the drafting even started. So I would like to take my hat of to those families who lost sons, fathers, husbands. I want to say to never forget this day.

Grandparents!

We got a better start today. We started driving around 10am. We had lunch at Taco Bell and then started back on the road. After about another 7 hours and a U-turn, we made it to our grandparents in Chadron,NE.


Day 1

We started out with two visits; one with some old friends and the other with our great grandma. Then we went out and drove grandpa's old truck. After that Nathan, Michaela, and Bethany went feed two calves before we had dinner. Later that evening we watched "Comanche station".


Day 2

Today we watched Adrian Rogers and Charles Stanley. For lunch Grandpa toke us to Country Kitchen. We enjoyed watching two western movies later that evening.


Day 3

For today we took a 2 hour drive to go see Mt. Rushmore. While we were there, we stopped off at Keystone,SD and looked in some old stores.



Day 4

One thing we did on our last day at Chadron was visit our great Grandma. Other than that we spent most of the time talking to people and watching Roy Roger movies. It has been a really great time seeing our grandparents and meeting some new friends. Also Grandpa showed us where he worked. It is on a farm about 15 min. away from Chadron. He took us around the scenic road on the way back.
