Our sweet host and hostess kept us highly entertained the entire time we were there. One of the highlights for the boys was going to the Washington Pavilion, which was the science center in Sioux Falls. They absolutely loved it and we spent several hours there.
Carter and Ryan tried their hands and feet at the rock climbing wall. They each made it about halfway before calling it quits.
Austin and Mikaela tested out the power of their minds against each other by putting on some head gear and trying to use their brain waves to move a ball. We were there for quite awhile, but I know the boys could have stayed longer. Much to their mother's dismay, they are math and science kids. One of these days they will truly fall in love with reading and writing...maybe. They truly are their father's children!
We also got to spend a fun filled day at Wild Water West, an amazing water park. Unfortunately, I forgot to get the pictures off of Mikaela's camera before we left so you simply have to imagine the fun they had in the wave pool, on the go-carts, playing mini golf, crossing water logs and lounging in the lazy river. It was probably the most relaxing for Shanna and I as they kids were completely entertained all day and only needed us for money for snacks!
While Joel, Shanna and I enjoyed the comfort of their three season porch at home with great conversation, the kids enjoyed jumping on the trampoline and riding around on the four-wheeler. It truly was a great trip that the boys and I enjoyed thanks to the hospitality of the Neubauer family. Maybe we'll let Ace go with us next time.
