Three Generations Across America: Busy couple of days

Were we just leaving Yellowstone yesterday morning? It is such a fast paced trip and we're seeing so much that it is dizzying to think about.

The kids are being great travelers and handling the trek with good humor and engaged minds. There has been a little bickering but overall a positive experience.

We got to Yellowstone on Wednesday just in time to set up the camper before the skies really opened on us. We cooked dinner and ate in the camper, which was a first. The next day was lovely, as I've already shown. Friday we took the clockwise road around the park to the East entrance. If Thursday was geyser day, Friday was buffalo day!

We were stopped for several minutes as bison crossed in front of our cars. There were several juvenile bison that looked adorable yet still fierce alongside their parents.

We stopped in Cody, WY and were spontaneous yet again (people who know me, try not to die from the shock). We opted to take a trail ride around a reserve on the banks of the Shoshone River. It was D's inaugural ride on a horse and we all had fun!

We stopped in Sheridan, WY and were back in the road this AM. Today we stopped in Deadwood. SD and ended at a KOA campground in the shadow of Mt. Rushmore. KOA's decidedly Chic-Fil-A attitude was quite a shock and the place seems like more of an amusement park than a campground. Still, we will partake if their $2.50 all you can eat pancake breakfast tomorrow before we go!

Here are some shots of our journey...
