Cross Country Road Trip Day 3....

Day 3 took us from Billings, MT

through Wyoming to Rapid City, SD.

Our guest photographer for this leg is

David during the drive

and then me at the pit stops.

Bren is really being a trooper!

As boring as the drives have been,

I expected her to complain alot,

but she's been occupied with her coloring books

and has enjoyed singing at the top of her lungs

with us when a fun song comes on the radio.

Usually, we are relegated to a country station

full of static

or a station playing a perpetual tribal rain dance song,

but every once in a while a station with familiar songs

will come in clear enough for us to

sing along with.

We did have some excitement thought when
we had to slow down for a bunch of cowboys
to unload their horses.




The wind was crazy!!
We had to be careful opening our car doors
because the wind would push them open with
so much force I thought they'd come off of their hinges!






I know that just because we were in Wyoming
didn't mean that everyone would be decked out in
chaps and cowboy hats but,
I was hoping to see a real cowboy,
chaps and all,
and I got to see two!


If we had to deal with miles and miles
of desert and prairie,
I'm glad we had these gorgeous blue skies to follow us
for most of this trip.



We bedded down for the night in Rapid City, SD.
We met a waitress at Godfather's Pizza
who had never left Rapid City.
She was amazed at all of our travels
and I was happy to hear my kids
proudly telling her of all of our travels.
