E Family Weekend

 Our family of seven tries to schedule a weekend when all our schedules allow some all- together family time. That happened last weekend.

OFD arrived in time for all seven of us to attend the free concert at the Levitt in downtown Sioux Falls. It was our first Levitt concert. The U.S. Navy Band Horizon was the main entertainment, playing music from the 80s and 90s.

On Saturday, we met at the Sioux Empire Fair to enjoy fried, greasy fair food.

and some shaved ice!

We were at the fair to attend the rodeo. Pre-rodeo entertainment was watching the crew move the calves and steers from one set of corrals to another.

The Navy provided the Honor Guard and the singing of the National Anthem.

After 3 hours of rodeo, it was time for the carnival! McBe does not enjoy the rides.

Miss W thought she would spin faster if she was alone. She didn't.

Hubby kept sliding into/onto her lap

Miss W wanted a faster ride

I don't know what the ride was called. Maybe the Tower?

She got her thrill!
