  • Crazy Horse

    South Dakota is steeped in history, it’s one of the main reasons I chose to take the kids here for MEA break. After visiting Mount Rushmore  we headed over to Crazy Horse. It’s only about a 15-20 minute drive. Crazy Horse is a privately funded memorial surviving on donations from the public. It’s a shame there is… [Continue Reading]

    Stopping at Wall Drug is a must if you are in South Dakota. I had never been before so I wasn’t sure what to expect. When we arrived, immediately I felt overwhelmed.

    Peyton has a fascination with dinosaurs. There was one point when she would only watch The Land Before Time and Ice Age movies.

The Legal Requirements of Driving

To drive a vehicle, there are a number of legal requirements you will need to meet. These can vary depending on which state, or even country, that you are in. These requirements may depend on your age, as well as your vehicle type. The legal requirements for a car driver would greatly differ to that of a motorcycle owner.  Whenever you drive, it is also worthwhile bearing in mind that, while you are aiming to meet all the requirements at all times, there will be some drivers on the road who ...

State Fair Strawberry Lemonade

This is our last lemonade recipe for our Minnesota State Fair series. It has been so much fun making them this past month and enjoying them! I know Peyton's favorite part has been enjoying each one.  Though out of all the lemonades we made this month I would have to say this one and the Strawberry Pineapple Lemonade were my favorites.  This strawberry lemonade is extremely simple to make.

State Fair Cheesecake Roll-ups

I think pretty much everything is deep-fried at the Minnesota STate fair. And if it's not deep-fried it's on a stick.  Well, probably not everything but it sure does feel like nearly everything!
