Day 41 - Minnesota to South Bend (Aug 6)

 By Finny

We got in the car early and slept for a bit.  

Before we knew it, I was home!  I could tell by the smell of the air.  

We made it!  6700 miles in 41 days!

Day 40 - South Dakota to Minnesota (Aug 5)

By Finny

Mom and I were up early, in part because Gia crawled into bed with her.  Mom and I had a nice walk anyway.  We found some deer and enjoyed watching the sun come up.

We hung out at the main lodge a bit.

We set up the mats for 7 AM yoga for everyone and then went back to get them up.  It turns out only Lily, Mom, Dad and me did yoga.  I was great!

We drove from South Dakota on to Minnesota.  It was a long day of driving!  I didn't feel like eating, so I had Caden spoon feed me some soft food.

Day 39 - Wyoming to South Dakota (Aug 4)

By Finny

Mom and I got up with the sun and walked around the farm.

We had the 7:30 AM cowboy breakfast with pancakes bigger than the plate!

I took my kids, and my mom, on a walk through the fields after breakfast to look for the wild horses...

I found 'em!

I ran right towards them and barked, but they just kept coming closer!

I ran back and checked with mom and Lily and they said it was safe, so I went up and met them.  They really weren't that different than a dog!  We made fast friends.

On the way out, I met some cows.  I could get used to farm living!

We stopped in the cute town of Sheridan, WY for lunch and there was a tribute to Caden's spirit animal, the otter :)

Dad was happy to find Wyoming whiskey.

Next up was glamping at Mount Rushmore.  We had a big tent with a bathroom in it and a little TP with two beds in it.

There were unlimited s'more kits available.

Caden made charcoal art on the fire pit that was kind of neat.

After s'mores we headed up to the main lodge to watch Mount Rushmore light up and have some charcuterie and a lot of giggles!

Funny enough the images of Mount Rushmore didn't turn out to good in the dark...

But here's a photo of a photo :)
