My weekend


I had the most wonderful weekend away. Talina and I spent the weekend in Rapid City at the Hills Alive 2008 outdoor music festival. She came down Friday night and we left Saturday morning. Derrick was sweet and babysat Nate for me so we could have a girl's weekend away. We got to enjoy artists like Brandon Heath, Tree63, Superchick, Matthew West, Mandisa, TobyMac, Switchfoot along with some excellent speakers. The best part is that its free!
The weather was hot but not near as hot as past Hills Alive that I have been to. We also crammed into our weekend a shopping trip to the mall and a visit to Bear Country. I had told Talina about our visit there earlier this spring and so she really wanted to experience it. I had my camera this time which was fun. We got home around 2:00 am Monday morning so I'm still catching up with my sleep. Here are some pictures of the fun...

Wow! That looks like a blast!! Talina looks great. I want to go to Bear Country - it looks so cool!
I'm glad that you got that time away; it's always great to have a little girl time. :)

I meant 'had tons of fun' instead of blast...I didn't mean to steal Rachel's word, no wonder it came up in my mind so quickly :) wow I am out of it today
