Lets see where to start today... We got up a little earlier than planned. We just couldn't sleep, in the end that we a good thing. So we thought that we knew cold. Nope. It was -5 when we woke up. Yep that is a negative sign in front of the 5! Cold! So we loaded back up and headed west. We got about 30 minutes outside of Rapid City and it started snowing. Big puffy pretty flakes. It was awesome! The good thing here is that they do not get the ice that we do at home so driving is no big deal. Plus they have these huge snow plows that run all day. Imagine that, running the snow plows while it is snowing. getting rid of the snow so that it doesn't pile up and make it even tougher to clean. Rocket science right? Anyway, we got here before we could check into our hotel due to the time change that we did not figure in. So once again, we went to the mall. We have done some awesome shopping the last 2 days! When they have sales here they have monster sales! Anyway, we messed around for about 2 hours and then came to the hotel. Our hotel has an indoor water park which I need to get pics of. So TJ and I went and rode some slides and the lazy river. Now we are in the room and about to nap. Its been a long couple days! Tomorrow we go to the DHS office at 8 and will have hours and hours of paperwork and stuff before we get to see our son for the first time! We will meet at his foster parents house at 2 here so at 3 your time. If you think about us, please send up a prayer as we are super excited but also nervous! On to the pics real quick...
1. This is just a pic of the snow. That was our view for most of the drive
2. This is from when I finally remembered to take a pic of the temp in the car. this was after about 2 hours on the road. I will try to do this every day
3. This is the Missouri River. It is really big and frozen solid! TJ and I had never seen a river this big totally frozen so we thought it was cool.
4. Our home away from home for the week. The first thing we did was empty out the suitcases and try to make it look a little neater but what can you do?
Until Tomorrow friends!
