Days 44-48

Day 48 (Mother's Day and Dayt by Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes)
I love my mother! I am so thankful for her and all the support and love that she has shown me throughout all of my shit in my life! There will be no way I can show enough gratitude and love for her and all she is! I am happy I was able to take this selfie with her as they were dropping Dayt and me off at the airport!

When we got back to Arizona, we found out we had more time and decided to go to Kingdom of the Planet of Apes and went to the IMAX for it! Dayt and I have watched the franchise and have been looking forward to this 4th film for a while! Dayt thought it was awesome that two projectors were needed to fill the giant screem in front of us!

Day 47 (a whole bunch of family and Northern Lights)
Today, we had the actual graduation ceremony! After we celebrated Macy, my mother wanted to make sure that we showed up for even more family that was celebrating Kara Jo graduating. She had 12 young people in her graduating class. We drove to Forestburg to celebrate. They had 6 of their graduate's parties in one spot which is a really cool idea. This picture is not even all of the family that was their throughout the couple hours we were there. Many left. I haven't seen some of these aunts, uncles, cousins in a few years.

The Northern Lights were so dope! We were out on the Koupal Farm and when you are on a farm in South Dakota it is dark. This was so dope to see!

Day 46 (Baby Huddy and whole bunch of family selfie)
I was finally able to hold and snuggle Baby Huddy. He is getting so big and I love him so much.

Macy's graduation party was the day before the graduation ceremony and so many people showed up. This picture was the final picture of 10 adding more and more family members to the selfie! So much fun!

Day 45 (Track Meet and car full of boys)
Today, was busy. My father, son, Coco and I drove to Parkston to watch Macy, Ashlyn and Cruise at their track meet. We got to see two compete, Macy throw discus and Ashlyn jump high jump. Missed Cruise's event, pole vault, which bummed me out. Also missed Ashlyn's debut in the shot put. First time throwing this season and she qualified for state. 

We knew we had to get back in time for the 5pm baseball game that Riggs and Easton were playing in. The car ride after was having 2 Koupal boys, 2 Wagner Wince boys and Dayt, along with my father and me in the front. I love having all the cousins around and hearing and seeing them acting all goofy together.

Dayt asked if we had baseball in Arizona and says he wants to play. He also learned how to ride a bike with his cousins and NEEDS a bike to cruise on!

Day 44 (shoes and luggage at the airport)
I am so grateful to take the time to go to South Dakota and celebrate my niece Macy's graduation! I love traveling with my son and realizing that many of the comforts that I have in traveling are what Dayt likes. We get where we need to early. We find a charging spot so our devices do not run out of battery. We chill until it is time to board. Then we go to the bathroom, go and get a drink and snack before we board. We have our travel pillows. I know that one of the presents I am going to get Dayt is his own airpods or travel headphones so that he can listen to his own music while we are on the plane. I make to sure to ask Dayt if he is good, meaning are you comfortable, is there anything that will make this more comfortable and he usually asks me back :)
