A Weekend Getaway....



This weekend we had the privilege to travel out to Bruce and Dorothy Dockter's farm (a couple from church). They are such a blessing to us. We left Thursday night and stayed until Saturday evening. The scenery around this area is incredible. It's not like most of the flat terrain in ND it's got lakes/ponds and so many hills. 


The weather wasn't the greatest on the way there at all. We ran into strong winds, rain, hail, and lightning. It's amazing to watch lightning and the clouds out here since everything is so open and visible. But this rainbow was the outcome of the storm. It was cool! If you look close enough you can see the double rainbow.


Of course we brought Takota to share the weekend. He was able to play with the Dockter's two cocker spaniels. They kept him busy. The Dockter's grandchildren loved playing with him.
 
Bruce loves to grill. We were having some juicy hamburgers and hotdogs for lunch on Friday. It was nice since the wind was pretty calm that day. 

Daniel getting some quality time with the Dockter's grandson, Hunter and wearing Hunter's hat. I always love seeing Daniel with babies and children....he's so wonderful with them. 

On Saturday, it was very windy so there wasn't much we could do outside besides four-wheeling. Daniel had a blast driving them and of course he gave rides to the kids to keep them occupied. 

Taking a break and waiting for the next ride.

I am so glad you both were there this weekend for the Doktors. It certainly wasn't by mistake, it was definitely a God-thing. The scenery is awesome. I love all the open spaces, you can see for miles. Did Dan wear a helmet when he was 4-wheeling????? can't help myself!!!! LOL
