North Dakota part II

During our trip to North Dakota last month, we spent one afternoon touring Fargo and visiting the Volks' old stomping grounds. It was fun to see the houses they lived in, the neighborhoods where they played, and the schools and church they attended.

 {This is the front of the house show above and I tried capturing the mailbox where some anonymous donor left a card with money to help with their Christmas one year!}






These guys went in the school and found some of their old teachers still working there! 



On our drive up to Martin, we stopped by the first home the Volks' purchased. It's out in the country and reminded me of where I grew up. 


Grandma and Grandpa Volk had this hanging up in there home and I love it. 


Once again, we can't say enough great things about North Dakota. My favorite part was introducing Eli to the great roots he comes from!

How fun you all were able to do that! I love going back to where I grew up in OH and reminiscing. Did you know I lived on Spencer Drive and went to Spencer Elementary School??
