After church on Father's Day, we sent Tikvah and Joey home to nap with Grandma. Then we headed with Xandra, Theia and Aliyah to a museum in Fargo called Bonanzaville.
It's full of buildings to explore from pioneer days, like the first sod house in North Dakota (above), general stores, banks and churches from bygone days.
There are also old cars, tractors, Indian and military artifacts.
Uncle Ryan, Laura, his dad, Eldon and their two oldest girls, Cora and Evie, came and checked out the artifacts, too.
There was a mean game of checkers between Laura and Tim, in which neither of them knew the rules, but it didn't matter because you always let your dad win on Father's Day.
The kids and I grew bored of the checkers game and went to explore on our own. We found the bank and the church and
then we found grandpa with the phones.
It was fun, but good and tiring. At the end of the day, I wanted to get one last family photo. When the girls heard this, they all ran, but we caught Theia and took this lovely photo
by the loom.
Then we wrangled up the other two girls
and snapped two equally good Father's Day photos of the whole crew.
