U.S. Roadtrip: WY is for Wyoming

Our first stop in Wyoming was Gilette. Alex had to work and me and the boys went to see Devil's Tower. A giant butte.

Is this from two trees that grew together?

U.S. Roadtrip: Rapid City, SD

Our last stop in South Dakota, and actually the only stop where Alex was speaking in the state, was Rapid City. A quick stop but we did have time to visit a really cute and fun playground called Storybook Island.

U.S. Roadtrip: Day 3 in Custer

We could have returned to all the places we visited here and we wanted to, but, we also needed some rest so we decided to just take it easy today. Clean a little, bike at the campground and play with the boys "next door".

Dirty, focused and grilling marshmallows

Tomorrow we are leaving Custer...

U.S. Roadtrip: Day 2 in Custer (Badlands National Park)

I apologize for way too many pictures again... Of course the pictured can't do justice to this beautiful place, you simply have to go see it. The Badlands National Park is breath taking and again, we had way too little time. We wanted to stop and get out so many times but we just couldn't. We drove in loop to see the most possible and it was amazing!!! The yellow flowers everywhere is Sweet Clover and this year it was more than normal because of all the rain that had fallen. This place is normally a very very dry piece of land.

Prairie Dogs were everywhere and so cute!!

Bisons/Buffaloes

Look at the top of the rock

Part of the drive these little guys did not have to wear their seat belt and that was fun!!

Running on the moon, is what I call this!

We have talked a lot about snake danger on this trip
