Day 1--Devil's Tower & S. Dakota

 It only took about 30 minutes, but I managed to get everything to fit!!  And we didn't have to leave any of the kids behind :D
 Going to Thermopolis--going through the tunnels!
Some of my kids have never been thru a tunnel before.
Thermopolis, WY
 You can't really see this, but the interstate was red for a few miles before Gillette.  
Playing in Gillette 
 We stopped to visit with cousins that we haven't seen in many years.
 Callum taking a turn digging.
Zane found some shade. 
 Getting some water out of the vehicle.
 Alyssa with her 3 children--Nate, Sawyer & Andi 
 the family--with cousins (my sister, Sherrie's, son is Nathan Morris==his 2 kids are Nate & Andi)
 We made it to Devil's Tower!
Ben took his play cell phone with him so he could take pictures also.
He kept clicking & taking hundreds of pictures.
(I love this picture in the visitor's center!)
So I told Ben that if he wasn't careful he'd run out of space.  He said, "Seriously, Mom!  My space never runs out!"

Emmalee & Brienna (Emmalee wasn't feeling well--had a headache so didn't want to do much).  I think Emmalee didn't get enough to drink on top of not feeling well. 
 Pamela & Me
 Look--It's a Minion!  He made the trip with us!
wow--he even climbed to the top ;)
Toothless (from How to Train your Dragon) also made the trip (thanks to Zane) 
 Zane & Brienna
  South Dakota!  (Emmalee stayed in the car since she didn't feel well)
