a day in bismarck

One of my new favorite things about going to North Dakota is getting the opportunity to meet up with my good friend, Paula! I met her through blogging a couple years ago and it was an instant friendship. BFF kind of friendship!! We're already planning our lives out being neighbors and boating buds! I kind of love this girl. And Kyson is IN love with her :)

We met up in Bismarck for the day. We had all kinds of fun outdoor plans set up but Mother Nature had other plans! I was so surprised that freezing cold North Dakota didn't have more options for indoor fun. So, after we ate our body weight in pasta, shopped for Hot Tub's, soccer balls, and socks we decided to go bowling... right there in the mall! It was all Kyson's idea! :) But then we went real bowling. Ha!

We had to bowl with the bumpers, for Kyson, and you would think that it should have helped our scores. It didn't! We all did terrible. But I still won that terrible game of bowling. Holla! It's embarrassing how many picture we took. Dave now knows what it's like to be a full time photographer. And Paula now knows how crazy-about-pictures I am! So to spare you from having to endure that, here's a few of my fave's.

Kyson was so sad when we had to say goodbye. He cried in the car. He loves Paula! I really don't blame him though. Literally on our way out the door we decided to step into a photo booth for some silly pictures. I mean, why not?

Love you, P! Can't wait until we're neighbors :)
