On The Road Again!

This past week we had to move back from Owatonna MN to Cali! Amy really wanted to come along for the rode trip and since she was on summer break we figured why not! So on Monday Amy and I flew out to Minnesota for David's Federated Graduation and for the move back home. It was a long, fun and exhausting trip, (moving across country is a bit of a task) but we made some memorable moments on the way and stopped by some of our favorite places again! Congrats David for completing your training! On the plane! Lots more packing to do!! Owatonna is beautiful in the summer, too bad we weren't here in this time of year rather than the 40 below winter =/ One last night with the Owatonna Gang! All of 'em...I am not going to name them all! David and one of his good buddies A Lo aka Anthony! Josh and Marcie became good friends of ours, they are from S. Dakota! You know these two goofs! David with the two east coast boys, Todd and Mike. Lauren (another Cali girl), Amy and I Our last visit to Federated, David's work! ' David driving the Penske And Katie Driving .....BLAHHHH Pizza and Fireworks at Mount Rushmore! Mt. Rushmore on the Fourth of July, too cool! We stopped by Deadwood, David's Idea! It was pretty cool though, after a long hike in the 100 degree heat we got to see the grave site where Wild Bill and Calamity Jane were buried! Girls in the Penske! David and Amy by General Custer's Monument, he was found dead at the Battle of Little Big Horn! All the graves in the back of us are where U.S. Soldiers fell when they were defeated by Indians. Amy and David at 'Old Faithful' the Bison in the background later charged at a man that was teasing him....don't mess with the Bison, they mean business! Us stopping by our first Bison for a picture. This little cub was right around the corner, we saw two bears on the trip. David with the Good Ol' Penske Truck...glad to be out of that thing. The little coyote came out for a few pictures! Sisters in Yellowstone A little smooch was caught on camera! Our Beautiful Geyser...LOVE IT! Are we on a different planet!?! The stinky 'Dragons Mouth'...it grumbles as you go by! The Beautiful land...Amazing! The Three Amigos with a view of Lower Falls! Look what we got...a deer shit'in in the woods =) I looked all over for a Moose and there was not one to be found =( The Girls at the Grand Tetons...The stink'in sky was hazy so Amy wasn't able to get the full effect of the Mountains =( darn it...guess we will have to go back!! We ate at Snake River Brewing Co. for dinner in Jackson Hole WY. and had some fun with the cartoon cut-outs We also had some fun at the hat store, saddle up boys! Cowgirl with a tude! Us three at Snake River What would a road trip be without Pringles and Cheese! YES PLEASE! Last stop, VEGAS BABY! We had a great road trip together and we all can't wait to do it again...maybe next time we can leave out the Penske!

Oh man! I am SO jealous that you guys got to see the fireworks at Mt. Rushmore. What an AWESOME sight that must have been! I love the cardboard cut out pictures :)--and the hat store of course! Can't wait to see you all and hear about the trip. It's funny how all of David's work buddies look like David--hmmm! Heaven and back!

That road trip looks like so much fun. I am still laughing about the deer and Kate driving the Penske. You are one hot chica. Give David a hug for his great accomplishment and give Kelsie's belly a kiss for me. We can't wait to see you guys in September.

Lots of love!
