On the way to Yellowstone
We made quite a few stops at some beatiful palces. I think I could have sat in this park all day.
In the corner you can see the rental van. We used that to tour the park and carry all of us. 
arriving at the Vanorder farm
Uncle Evan took us for a 4-wheeler ride around the property. There is a beatiful river in the back and lots of room to ride.
The boy's set up a target for sling shots. They were getting pretty good.

Mount Rushmoore
The kids thought the mountain was pretty cool, with the presidents heads. Alli can now tell you all the presidents on the mountain and a little about each one. The kids did their first Junior ranger book and each got a badge. There was some learning on this vacation too....
Wall Drug
We were told.... You can't go out west without stopping at Wall Drug. It was pretty fun. It was bigger than I remembered as a kid. Lots of fun shops and things to see. There was a roaring dinosaur that Tyler was a little afraid of at first. Then he wanted to watch it again and again. We got some ice cream and of course some free ice water, which they are famous for. It was a fun stop!!!
Badlands
We spent the afternoon in the Badlands. It was a beautiful, hot sunny day. We took a hike through the rocky part to get a better view. Tyler asked "why do we have to take a hike in the dessert." I told him it was part of the experience of the badlands. He stated "it isn't the fun part." So maybe it was pretty hot and sunny but it was also amazing and beautiful.
Rest Area Eagle
At one of the rest areas we got to see an eagle. They were transporting it to a rescue center and stopped to feed the eagle at the rest area. The man was nice enough to give the kids a little information on eagles and let us get some pictures. It also gave the kids something fun to do while I put together dinner.
