Hello Everyone! I am SOOO sorry this post is so late. Here is our itinerary since July 12.

July 12: We drove most of the day to Bismark, ND and spent the night at a KOA kampground.

July 13: Woke up early and drove to Rapid City, SD and stayed there 3 nights. While in RC, we visited Crazy Horse Memorial and saw the Laser Light Show. The music was really cool and even though it was chilly outside, we had a great time and took lots of pictures. :) We all enjoyed looking at the displays and the pictures documenting the progess on the Memorial. The next night we drove to Mt. Rushmore. Nathan was the only one who had never seen it in person. We walked through the row of state flags and took pictures by the pillar with the name of our birth states. After alot of walking around the Gift Shop and outside marveling at the huge monument. Then we walked down to the stadium like seating area for the presentation and lighting of the sculpture. After a video depicting the life of the 4 presidents sculpted, all military were called down to the stage. David went down and proudly stated that he is now a "retired LCDR, United States Navy." We are so proud and thankful for his service to our awesome country!!!

July 14: Took a tour of Wind Cave National Park. We saw alot of Buffalo and Prairie Dogs on the drive-tour. :)

July 15 & 16: Mom and Dad wine tasted. Noah went panning for rocks at the local Rock Shop. We had a nice time walking around and seeing the little shops of downtown Custer.

July 17: Drove to Okoboji, IA. Drove through the Badlands National Park on the way. WE also visited Wall Drug for their Famous Ice Water and Homemade Doughnuts. Yum!

July 18: Dad ran the University of Okoboji Marathon. We met him at the finish, and enjoyed a few funnel cakes and a dip in West Lake Okoboji. Later that day, Dad took me and Josiah to a nearby theather to see Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. :D That night we sat around the kampfire and made s'mores and practiced some of our Tae Kwon Do techniques. The boys played outside while Dad looked for area churches and I gave Mom a pedicure!

July 19: We went to Faith Evangelical Free Church in Okoboji and then headed to Grand Island, NE. WE spent the night at a KOA kampground.

July 20: Drove to Denver, CO and ate dinner at Buckhorn Exchange (as seen on 'Man vs. Food') on Food Network. As an appetizer, we all shared Rocky Mountain Oysters and Rattlesnake. Then we all split buffalo, elk, quail, ostrich, yak and garlic mashed potatoes. Noah had a buffalo burger and homemade chips. We all concluded that yak was the best, and left comfortably full.

July 21: Today we spent another 6 hours in the car driving to Green River, UT. When we arrived we all swam in the KOA pool. After dinner, the boys went in the pool and I watched them while Mom and Dad took a walk to Green River to take a picture.

Again, I am very sorry that this post is late. :/

Happy Kampers signing off! :)
