Quality Cousin Time-South Dakota Style

I am finally blogging pics from our SoDak visit. Don't have much time, so I will have to let the pictures speak for themselves. We had a fabulous time visiting family and friends. As usual, I wasn't the best about snapping pictures. But at least I got the camera out during our trips to the Sioux Falls and the zoo, and a couple other times.

These are pictures from facebook friends of my hometown flooding. Most of these pictures are from today. There just aren't words. If you feel like helping out my hometown, check out http://www.minotredcross.org/.

Enough commentary.....the pictures speak for themselves. It's a sad day for Minot. But, North Dakotans are strong people and know how to come together as a community. They will rise up from this. Just praying for everyone to stay safe!
