Day 4 - Road Trip 2015

Highway!

Lots of open highway ... I love it when we get to see God's ultimate creation!

Gorgeous open country.

We made it to The Mount Rushmore State.  We haven't seen it yet but we are here :)

We have seen and grown very fond of prairie dogs!  

We saw an old prairie homestead and all I have to say is I sure wish I could buy 160 acres for $18.00!!  Whoa...how awesome :)  Of course, the kids loved the animals...pony, goats & chickens! Ha!  I love that they love seeing animals like they have never seen any before.  We have 13 horses and they went nuts over the little pony named Polly.  We have 9 chickens and they just had to go in the chicken coop and hold the chickens.  This makes me smile!!  A simple life is a good life :)

Wall Drug Store was just awesome!  We ate a late lunch and hit the soda fountain for a malt on our way to Sturgis...

We made it to Sturgis in a flash from Wall.  I found a great trading post to stop at.  Pulled up in amongst all the motor bikes and Sterling announces "Umm ... this is a saloon." Yikes...we had to leave! HA!  Took a picture of "Sturgis" on the side of the mountain and Carson announces "It is just like Hollywood!"  BAHAHA!  Yes, just like that :)  It was time to move on down the road!  Although, I did see a sign that said "Rally Help Wanted - apply with in"  I almost filled out an application!!! giggle, giggle!!!

Now we are enjoying room service and catching up on a few episodes of Heartland!

The Gattis Family - everyone of us - LOVES this show!!  We are very thankful for Netflix :)
