Our Last Week on the Road

Our last week on the road was spent way north in Minot, North Dakota. It is home of a very larger nuclear hub, and the largest Scandanavian Festival anywhere in the World, the Norsk Fest. Here are some fun pictures of the week!

This is a classic Norweigan church, modeled after one actually in Norway, and built right in Minot.


A model home, typical for most Scandanavian families hundreds of years ago.
We think the people might have been gnomes...


Tad and Bryan found a gnome...


Tad also found...true love?


Two amazing, very local sayings, which we heard often!



While we were in North Dakota, we had the opportunity to go to a corn maze! The boys weren't too excited about this, but they did it for me and served me anyway in it! It had been a dream of mine for about year to go to one, since Amber and I never got to our first semester out. (This one was for you, Amber!) Unfortunately, it happened to be drizzling and really cold, and who knew we'd be too tall for the corn stalks, and that only kids really went to these things?? (Appearantly the boys figured all of this!) But, none the less, we had a good time laughing about all of it and actually did get a little lost at one point, which made it worth our $7 each!


It was all good and laughs until this guy, one of the "Corn Cops" wanted to go home, and was creeping on us the whole time we were in there, and trying to tell us where to go- making all of us upset that he didn't understand the concept of paying $7 to get lost, not paying for a guide to help you get un-lost.

All in all, I had a pretty good time and was very amused at the whole situation. But...the boys felt a little differently by the end...

Good times on the road... :-)
