Miss Connie was six and a half months when she first traveled to Grandma and Grandpa Pulvermachers in the Wild, Wild West (Webster, South Dakota). We made the trip again this year, a few weeks later than the year before and experienced our first snowfall of 2016, as well as a quality visit.

Fabulous, home-cooked meals, warm hospitality, genuine excitement, fencing, vintage toys, stories, cows, and dancing filled our three full days. Great moments, lasting memories.

I took many (many) photos to capture our adventure and Connie’s interactions with Carl and Darcy. I never tire of watching her interact with grandparents—to see how much joy she brings them and how deeply they love her. She’s blessed with three sets of grandparents and still has three great-grandparents. Time or distance seems to have little effect, she warms up to them all quickly and engages in play and ‘conversation’.

Carl and Darcy, thank you so much for a truly lovely visit. Here are some of my favorite photos from our trip.
