South Dakota bound- Day 1 (6/8)

 We made it home!  Dave is back to work today, Stella came home from the kennel.  The kids will be getting back into their activities this week, swim practice for Em, karate, etc. for Luke.  We had a great time during our road trip to South Dakota.  I think we saw and did nearly everything we wanted to and I'm hoping to plan a Yellowstone trip within the next 3-5 years, so whatever we missed, we can try to do and see in a couple days while driving through.  Our rental cabin was in Hill City- a nice, central location to everything.  We got to spend some time with Jessie, Rylie and Nico towards the end of the trip, which was great.  It was really fun seeing the little boys playing so good together.

 The kids are better travelers when we can make a stop every couple hours.  I was slightly worried about Logan and potty stops, so I brought extra pull-ups in case it was easier than having accidents.  But, he did great and let us know every time he needed a potty break!  We left Sunday the 8th around 11am and headed straight to the SPAM Museum in Austin.  Surprisingly interesting!

 Trying to be their quickest at the SPAM assembly line....

 SPAM game show!

 We got on the road and stopped again in Blue Earth to see the Jolly Green Giant, a DQ treat and a potty break.

 After a potty break in Luverne, we were pulling into the Holiday Inn Express in Brandon, SD with a couple hours to spare for some pool time.  Nice water slide for the big kids and a smaller slide/water area for Logan!
