Start of our Vacation, please see all of the posts!

We were amazed at the beautiful windmills all over as we traveled through Wyoming.
Jane after setting up the tent. I really enjoys camping and traveling across the country. I love to drive and see things.
Michael with his cowboy hat. That first night was really hot and we were very sweaty and muggy in Nebraska.
Beautiful Nebraska Sunset. We had fun getting this shot.
Close up of a Windmill, this was right next to a parking only rest stop. It was amazing how huge these things are.

More Vacation

Typical picture of Jeremiah, inspecting closely anything that looks like the home of an animal, or insect. He could spend hours entertaining himself looking at bugs and holes in the ground.
Isaac at a rest stop on the way to New Jersey. He is happiest with a handful of sticks. He can't decide whether he likes fat ones, or long ones the best. He does love having lots of sticks.
Eden enjoying herself with all the cool rocks. She picks up one and then puts it aside for another, can't decide which one is best. She was entertained for a long time in this one spot.
Setting up our picnic area at Stoney Lake in New Jersey. It was so much fun to spend time with both Leah and Cami at the same time. The grandkids are always fun, no matter when or where.
Leah and Eden in the lake. We had a lot of fun this day just totally relaxing!

Vacation Stoney Lake, New Jersey

Picnic at the Lake. Isaac really enjoyed the corn cooked on the grill.
Jeremiah looks so cool in his swimming gear. He had a lot of fun with the new friends that he made at the lake. He loved swimming and diving in the water. This lake was so cool because it was quite warm and shallow. Good for little kids to play in.
Eden couldn't get enough of the water. She loved to splash and learned to control herself in the water really well.
Isaac loves to dig in the sand. What a nice colorful picture. He is so intent!
Cool chocolate ice cream treat after the day at the Lake. The boys enjoyed eating in the bathtub! Made for real easy clean up in the hotel.

Vacation Still

Cami and Isaac at the Crayola Factory, this was a fun interactive museum in Pennsylvania.

Isaac making a very scary face!

Vacation going home

View of our Campground in Wisconsin.
Pipestone National Monument, this was a piece of the cliff face where the Indians for years have been chipping out the stone they shape and drill to make the bowl of peace pipes. A very interesting tour.
Waterfall at Pipestone National Monument.
I love cool flowers, these were taken at the Pipestone National Monument.
View of our Campground in South Dakota, this was a beautiful spot.

August Vacation

Devil's Tower, another favorite. This shot was from the parking lot of the KOA restaurant where we ate lunch. I got a great buffalo burger.
This is a cool tunnel system by Cody, Wyoming. It is fun to drive through and one that you definitely can't hold your breath while you are going through, like we used to do as kids, it is a great long tunnel.
Michael and I in front of Yellowstone Lake. Don't we look cool and rested!
Two mean old birds sitting on the top of a car and screaming at people as they walk by. I wonder what they are thinking.
Last stop before heading home was Yellowstone Park and Old Faithful. This brought back so many memories of the times I have been there before. I still love the place!
