We adopted our daughters through Foster Care, in 2018. They are wonderful girls, ages 7 & 8, who are: very curious about the world, creative, high energy, & lovers of all animals (especially chickens, dogs, horses, cats, & bugs). They enjoy most any outdoor activity; playgrounds (indoor and outdoor) and hikes/walks along Minnehaha Creek and Minnehaha Falls are year-round options and in the warmer months, swimming at local lakes, creeks, or in our backyard(not an in-ground pool) are among their favorites. They also enjoy painting, drawing, coloring, stickers, dinosaurs, cars, farms & farm animals, cooking, scooters and skateboards, feeding squirrels, and playing games of all sorts.
