Darin gets official weather briefing

Darin's surprise... The National Weather Service.
Meteorologist Todd Heitkamp gave us a great tour!

Here we are all learning what each computer system does and what they look for in the skies.

Here Todd is showing Darin what a tornado looks like on radar, and the computer models they use to put together the 7-day forecast.

We had a week of vacation in Sioux Falls. We let the kids each take a day and choose their favorite activities. Jeff also threw in some surprises. Darin's surprise was a tour of the National Weather Service. He loves weather. His eyes got big when we drove up to the building. Mom learned some new things too.
