The Greatest Waterslide in South Dakota

We went on a long road trip. The boys weren't super excited about it, and I don't blame them and we had debated about whether or not to leave them home but then Pres. Oaks talked about having more quality family time - so the road trip was on! We stopped in Casper and Gillette so Toby could get some work done. Then we went to Devil's Tower (my favorite), Mt. Rushmore and Crazy Horse and then finally to the hotel with a water slide! That's all the boys cared about. And it didn't disappoint. It was a really fun water slide! We had a fun trip. We couldn't decide if Wyoming was pretty or not. Max decided it's just sad. The best part of the trip was that Sam had to write a talk for church on the Family Proclamation so he talked about our trip and getting to the water slide.
Unfortunately the Casper temple was closed for cleaning.
The sunrise was amazing
Sam went fishing while we waited for Toby to work

This is Chubs. He was my favorite
Devil's Tower




After we left Mt Rushmore we took the scenic route through the needles. It was so pretty! We went through 3 tunnels and cool bridges that looked like this. Max turned on the Car's movie playlist while we wound through. It was awesome.


What the Crazy Horse monument will eventually look like
What it looks like now. Yes, you should be laughing. We were. The boys were not.

Who knew there was a random Flinstone Land in the middle of nowhere!
The water slide!


Martin's Cove - can you tell Sam was sick of the car?!

This is the actual Cove (behind and to the left of the antelope) where the saints found shelter
