The countdown to South America begins! One week to go!

We have spent the past few weeks in North Dakota and they have flown by. It's hard to believe that we have only ONE week to go before we set off for Colombia to begin our South American journey! It's time to get busy repacking our bags and finishing our itinerary. Instead of filling you in our last few weeks day by day, here are some of the photos with quick outlines of what we did!

Blowing snow in windy, snowy and cold Sheyenne, North Dakota in -11 Farenheit temps:

Watched as Grandpa was flocked by a bunch of wintering flamingos:

Played with our loving pets that we missed oh so much:

Gambled the night away on several occasions:

OOO...did Jason actually catch something in the lake? Or is that just the weight pulling the end down....or perhaps a chunk of ice

Or perhaps...just perhaps...I might be standing on the hook :-) Pretty neat trick huh?
