"Get me off this log!"

Our trip was so fun. It was much better then we expected. Due to the weather, we ended up doing the trip in reverse.

We started out a bit rough. Turns out sleeping sitting up with 5 people in a pick up is not much fun or restful.

Pour little S (4 years old) woke up about 2 am and said

"Get me off this log!"

You know that it is not so cozy when a sweet little 4 year old says that.

We ended up staying up and driving on and off, most of the night. It was pouring rain all the way across SD.

We decided to go to a hotel in Rapid City first and then Custer St Park, followed by the Badlands. We made it to Wall SD at about 11 am, Sunday. We had a nice lunch. It was raining quite heavily. D had his first Buffalo burger. He loved it. After a quick look around we were off the the hotel and indoor water park. That was restful and enjoyable.

After a quick stop at Hobby Lobby to get some crafts for the road, we were on our way. Very relaxed after that stay and ready to start our camping adventure, we headed out.

(Notice the spent baby bottle and the inhaler stuff and several Tamagotchi -if you have to ask what that is, you don't have kids between 6-12- on the dash board).

More tomorrow. K~
