Black Hills Visit Part I

We spent the vast majority of July visiting Haune's family in the Black Hills of SD.  Wow, did we ever have fun!  The first 10 days of the trip included both of Haune's sisters and their families as well as a family reunion on Gloria's side of the family.  All of the cousins had a great time playing together--we housed all 7 of them, ages 5 and under.  Lots of fun memories were made!  As always, Mark and Gloria were extremely gracious hosts.  We really enjoyed being able to spend time with them.  Enjoy the pics (there's a lot of them and more to come!)
