Oesch Wild West Adventure Part I

I had to be in Mitchell, SD for Dakotafest for work this August. So, Rett and I decided to make a family vacation out of it and explore the great west! We were a bit nervous to take Emma at two and a half years old on a big road trip...but with a goodie bag for each long leg, DVDs and the iPad we decided to go for it.

We flew into Omaha first. We stayed downtown for one night so we could be fresh for our first driving leg of the trip.

On day two, we started off for Sioux Falls where we would stay for the next couple of nights and commute into Mitchell, SD for Dakotafest and of course the Corn Palace.

off we go!

Family Photos- Emma 2.5 Years Old

We had a great morning and downtown Main Street in St. Charles provided a beautiful backdrop for our family photos. We can't believe Emma kept the headband on her head! You can certainly see her personality shining through as she hits two and a half years old.

Summer Fun!

We started the summer off attending Circus Flora with friends.

We then celebrated my 33rd birthday!

We went to Crystal Lake and Lake Geneva for a family wedding and for the 4th of July.
