We started off the Summer by heading to Gillette, Wyoming to visit my brother and his new wife. It was a crazy and fun trip. First of all the drive is supposed to be about 9 hours and it took us 12 plus getting there and 14 plus to get home. Being 7 months pregnant, my doctor wanted me to get out of the car every hour and half and walk around but we all needed breaks. So the drive was long, but it was so worth it and so much fun. We did have to rent a vehicle big enough for all of us my mom, my sister and her two girls and me and Rylie all piled into a Durango for the trek. Here is Rylie navigating the map, she figured out that we were " following the pink road" (interstate ) until we got to Uncle Spenny's. 
My mom bought all the girls cute Wyoming Cowboy boxers to sleep in.

Being goofy!
Spence and Laura were serious tour guides; they hooked us up with awesome sights!

Laura packed us an awesome picnic (she fed us very well during the whole trip) that we enjoyed at the Roughlock falls.
Look who loves her mom!
We made it to Mt Rushmore and arrived in style, by train. We took a 1800's train to from one to the next, it was Rylie's highlight. She got to meet the conductor and practice her Choo Choo!! (pictures to come later).
On the way home we stopped at Independence Rock and Martin's Cove. The video and pictures at Martins Cove make you very thankful for the pioneers. I don't know if I would have had it in me to make the trek.
