In an attempt to create some 4th of July family traditions, we decided to visit a national park and check out some of the diverse landscape this country has to offer. Pat has been wanting to visit the Badlands for quite awhile and I was admittedly reluctant...the name doesn't exactly conjer up warm fuzzies within me, nor does the fact it was in Starship Troopers, (a fact Pat proudly revealed on the way)entice me. However, it's family weekend and the planner for Sunday was Pat and he had Badlands on the brain, so off we went. Wow. Was I ever weak sauce. What a cool place! Once I moved beyond the memory of my geology professor raving about it, I really loved it. We have been truly fortunate to see so much of this country and its breathtaking diversity. God is truly a God of wonders! How great is He to create so much beauty for us to see. So, Badlands, not so bad. Actually, really really good.

Thanks, Jen and Brandon. It was great hanging out last night...conquering the world and a bad window treatment all in one night. Happy 4th of July!
Love,
katie and pat
Love reading about your adventures and your cute little family. I was serious about checking into GK as a model...she could make some extra spending $$$ for her wardrobe! And to think you were afraid you might have an ugly baby!
You'll have to explain "weak sauce" to this Arkansan.
It was great talking to you today. Have a fun-filled weekend with the Farrellys!
