It was really great to be able to have Doug's Dad, Debbie and Patrick here for a little visit. After driving for 1 1/2 days to get here, they were glad to get out of the car! It was a long trip from Memphis, but hopefully they had a good time. We were glad to have them and show them a little of our new area.
While they were here we took them to End O Line Railroad park and learned about the RR in Murray County and got to play on some trains. We also got a ride on a manual turntable. The kids really got a kick out of that!
Later that day we fit in a trip to the farm for 
Patrick to see the cows. He liked watching them in the milking parlor. Then Patrick decided that he wanted to work, so he set out picking up the hay bail that had broke earlier in the day. He quickly delivered it to the pen with the cow who had just had a calf earlier that day.

We also went to Pipestone National Monument and learned about the Pipestone rock that is still quarried today, but they have strict requirements as to who can quarry it. They also got the tour o
f town and the church. Since then, many members have commented on how good it was to have 
Pastor's family in church. None of them were envious of the drive though!

Thankfully we did not have any major issues and everyone had a good time. Patrick stayed here with Gabe and Anna and they had fun sleeping in sleeping bags and having a "slumber party."
