Trip to North Dakota

This past weekend we all packed in the car and headed to East Grand Forks for a little vacation. We started off the weekend at the Canad Inn Water park in Grand Forks to celebrate the birthdays of Blake's cousins children...Happy Birthday Isaiah, Amaya, and Aubrey! Thank you for letting us share your special day:)There was a big water slide that when you went down it it seemed like you were getting flushed down a toilet (pic at top) that seemed to be the favorite for everyone.
Even Brecken went on it ...A LOT!Braydon just has a big bucket of water dumped on him I thought he was going to fall over.
They loved the water park!
But of course it wouldn't be a trip if Burandt didn't find himself some trouble :) Here he is filling out an incident report with one of the lifeguards that rescued him when he found himself in a little over his head...literally!
That evening Blake and I along with a bunch of his family went to the Sioux vs. Notre Dame hockey game. Super fun!
Yes... I was very touristy and took pictures of basically everything:)
Luckily I was able to get in with my camera (but just barely) they measure your lens, if it's to long you can't bring it in...mine just made it.WCHA Championships
The whole team.
Brock Nelson
It was a BLAST even though it was not a win...it was a tie that's better than a loss :) I suggest if any of you get the chance to see a game in Ralph you do it! It's beautiful!!Afterwards we had to go out and whoop it up in the 'big city'.
We even made it in before bar closing, but that probably because we ran out of places to go. I think we were kicked out of 3 or 4 bars....not bad for our group I guess!
The next day we brought the kids to Cabela's. Here they are looking at the fish in the tank.
Burandt giving Brec a lift. The fish looked very sickly.Brecken being a sniper. He shot a badger he told me...crazy kid! Now if it was me I would have skipped past the badger and went for the grizzly or mountain lion.
Oooh Ahhh... these boys are in heaven! Cabela's gun library need I say more :)
On the road again...
...looks like you are never to old to wear your Burger King crown!


Thank you so much to the Grinde's for putting up with us this weekend we had a great time...and I now have 3 children that want to move in with Auntie Sara :) even though your town stinks (sugar beet factory) Thanks again!
