Mount Rushmore in the Fog
Rick and I sat down and started planning our vacation in July in enerst tonight.
The first leg will be a 4 day stop @ Mount Rushmore. I was looking at the KOA site for that area and it looks really fun. There is a train ride we can do with the kids, and a lot of really fun kid-friendly activities. It looks like they do chuck wagon dinners, shuttle to Mount Rushmore, and just a lot of fun camping sort of stuff.

Here are a few of the websites I was looking at:
Brian started getting really excited about the trip when I started telling him everything that we would be doing. I think I'm going to buy a few books on it for him before we go.
After we leave Mount Rushmore, we will be heading down to Sioux Falls KOA for the night at the KOA there. We will be meeting fellow May Mommy and crew from Winnipeg Canada, Joelle, Kent, Carter and Grayson for a fun filled night of South Dakota Camping under the stars before we descend on Kansas City MO!
Why Kansas City you may ask? Mostly because it very central, which was important when you are planning a shindig with people traveling from all over the US and Canada.
We will drive to KC the next day and meet up with my May Mommy's for our 5th Birthday Extravaganza. I'm so excited about this. We will be going to a water park, and a Build A Bear.
We are also planning a May Kid's 5th Birthday Party.
We will have a "Mommy's Night Out" so that we Mommy's can really catch up and have some girl time. We are planning on the Dad's taking care of all the kids for that night. I think on the Friday we get there, we will have a "Dad's get together" so that they can get to know each other.
Since we have so many certified Car Seat Techs in our group, we will be having a car seat clinic for us. It's definitely going to be a fun weekend.
After we leave KC we will be heading up through Saint Louis on our way to Chicago to see my good friend Bernie and her Daughter Des. I'm almost as excited about this. Bernie and Brian share the same birthday in March. I haven't seen her since they came to see us when we lived in Alameda.
After that, we will make our way home through MN, NB and possibly WI as well as ND. Hopefully we will make it home by Sunday the July 20th.
