Vacation Part III

The next part of the trip brought us to "the Farm" in Napoleon, ND. The kids loved "the farm" and all the family that came with it. There was one adventure after another including kite flying, looking into a hawk's nest, swimming at the Napoleon pool, going to a "polka mass", eating at the "Big D" and seeing the windmill that was in Dances With Wolves, trying on Auntie Paula's hats, playing in the "Moose Room" and many, many more things too exciting to mention here.
Enjoying grandma and the lovely weather that we had:
Playing with grandpa:Eli and dad slept in the tent, just for fun. Here they are seen playing the Sperle invented game "shoe kick". They are trying to kick their shoes over the clothes line:We were't going to make Eli nap when his cousins were visiting, but then we checked on him and we found him sleeping in the stuffed cow collection:What could be more fun than playing air hockey with the cousins?:You know you're a big kid when you get to eat on the stairs. Plus, this is a great shot of Eli's all-time favorite cousins, Emily and Ashley. From bottom to top: Eli, Emily, Ashley, Kyle, Kristen and Erin:No trip to Napoleon would be complete without a trip to the Logan County Museum. Grandpa is even in the Logan County "Hall of Fame" right next to Lawrence Welk and Georgia Becker-Moch (Miss ND 197?).It really is a cute museum. Here's Eli in the school house:
