Oh Beautiful

for spacious skies. This spring and summer have been some of the most beautiful times we've experienced so far in North Dakota. My parents drove Sam out here so he could work for the summer and we went hiking in the badlands. I'm sure I will take a million pictures of the badlands in the years that we will live here, but I still just feel so blessed whenever I look at them. These pictures fill me with joy so I'm posting them here in case they make anyone else's heart flutter and want to sing America the Beautiful. So, I apologize in advance if there's a post like this every year but I just can't help it. I love where I live and want others to love it too.
