July 2, 3, 4 - Land between the Lakes Kentucky

The trip from Nebraska to Kentucky was another long road day - Daisy wasn't in the mood.

We had a awsome view from our campsite, we didn't even need to get out of the RV to enjoy it.

The boys were ready to finally go fishing.

Just enjoying the view...

The only way to fish...
The sunset was beautiful.

That means time for the marshmellows.
In the morning we rented a deck boat and were ready to have fun.
Trust me guys I know what I'm doing...
Mema decided to sit this one out.
The kids had a blast...

Even mommy got in on the action...
Too much fun for mommy, time for a break...
Just goofing around.

July 1 - Travel Day from South Dakota - Omaha Nebraska

Today we left our campsite (Walmart) in Murdo South Dakota and made it to our next stop in West Omaha, Nebraska. As you can see Daisy was up for the trip.

The children needed to burn off some energy... Around and around the campground they went.

June 30 - Devils Tower and Mount Rushmore

Devil's Tower was in the movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind. We stayed at the camp ground directly at the base where they played the movie every night. Alex really enjoyed it. Although it was another rock the formation was very cool. It is a very scared place to the Indians- they have prayer bundles in many of the trees around the base.



From there we drove to Mt. Rushmore, South Dakota. Mt. Rushmore was not as impressive as we thought it would be. The cravings were smaller then I imagined. But never the less it was a great place for us to visit and the surrounding area is very pretty too.

June 29 - Another Travel Day

We headed thru Wyoming to Devil's Tower and Mt. Rushmore. Below is how Miles and daisy passed the time


We went over Bighorn pass. The views were fantastic. Then we came upon this herd of cattle(must have been at least several hundred of them) walking for a few miles down the road we were suspose to be driving on It really was a sight to see. Thank goodness I can count on not being delayed by a cattle crossing in Charleston!!!

June 26, 27, 28 - Yellowstone National Park

Yellowstone National Park is Huge!!! We ended up staying there for 3 days. The continental divide goes through the park also. Yellowstone has many amazing sites that are really awesome.

Old Faithful !!!
The bison were everywhere(and boy what a poop they made--you really had to watch where you stepped)they would even walk across the road. We saw a grizzly bear and a mama black bear and her cub too.


To make our trip to Yellowstone even more memorable we were to spend an evening with our Wyoming family,the wild west Wojciks. Fred, Julia and Schuyler it was wonderful to see you thank you for drive all those hours to see us. It really meant a lot to us. It was great to see you, we miss you.

June 26 - Lava Hot Springs Idaho

We really didn't know much about Idaho until this trip and we all fell in love with it.It's a very beautiful state. Lava Hot Springs is a very cute little town(pop.251).The hot springs were incredible the pools were springs fed only, the water ranged from 106-112 degrees. There wasn't any sulpur odor(thank goodness). We also went to a great water park there as well. All 3 of the kids(even Alex) jumped off the high drive. It was 17 feet tall--now I have more grey hair!!!
