first time in five days tha we has sun and no rain. It was a bit chilly and had a lot of wind.
We left the city of Custer and the Black Hills for the last time. Our first stop was Custer State Park and we did an abbreviated volksmarch there. Then the girls were able to get into the tail end of a junior ranger presentation on trees and even did a neat project in connection with it. We then visited the nature lodge and answered many questions. The we left and officially headed- east! We stoped at WAll Drug Store and dd some of the activities that we wee unable to do when we stoped there last week because of rain. We ate lunch, bought a few souveniers (another whole story in itself) then bk on the road again. We then hit the Bad Lands again, and this time with the sun shining and time enough for the girls to complete their third junior ranger program. They really enjoy doing thse programs and can be done in 60-90 minutes- with help! They even got to cimb on some of the geogological formations but no pictures as both camera were empty. Jesica had several pictures left, but took 8 trying t get a picture of T-Rex roaring with its mouth open, but kept missing so tried again, and again, and....anyway- we al enjoyed the Bad Lands.
On the road again by about 4:40 and drove to where we crossed the Missouri River. Found a room with a pool and thus eded another fun day. Some small aches and pains appear and reappear, but some TLC seems to cure most all ills. Believe it or not, we had our first real tears today. Tragedy, in the motel hallway this morning as both girls tried to carry a box of toys, etc. to the car and made it about 4 steps from our room when Jesica fell and took Jillian down with her
Big day of driving tomorrow--
