Day 5 - Tuesday
On Tuesday we started the morning off by visiting the Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota. The views were gorgeous and we got to see prairie dogs, buffalo, and Mom's favorite, wild horses.
A view from an outlook around the tourist loop.
One of the tallest outlooks we climbed too. As you can see the rock formations jutted out of the ground everywhere.
Another view from the previous outlook.
Wild horses along the side of the road. We sat and watched them for a while, they were just hanging out.
Later that afternoon, we went to Dickinson, ND and visited the Dakota Dinosaur Museum. This was a highlight for Evan. They had lots of real dinosaur bones, casts, fossils, and tons of gemstones and rocks. One display of gemstones, you could just feel the warmth coming from them.
After the dinosaur museum, we went down the enchanted highway, where you literally can see HUGE sculptures. Since it was getting late, we only saw a few before continuing onto our destination for the night in Bismarck, ND. Day 6 - Wednesday
Our hotel had a big water park inside the hotel. Emily and Evan woke up early the next morning to go in the pool.
Evan going down the kid slide. My camera didn't want to cooperate very well!
In Jamestown, ND, we stopped at a Buffalo Museum, which apparently had an albino buffalo. Well, for reference sake, you probably won't see the albino buffalo, as they are in a big pasture area and most often they are hiding amongst the trees and hills. So, don't waste your time going to the museum to see the albino buffalo in person, but rather to learn about buffalo's.

Day 7 - Thursday
Our last day of travel. I am not feeling so swell and we are all getting a bit tired of being in the car, so we pushed through to Naperville, IL where my family lives, near Chicago. We made a quick stop in Madison, WI to drop off some of the rabbits my Mom is transporting and to have lunch at Cracker Barrel. Then arrived in the afternoon in Naperville. Now, we get to have fun visiting family and my cousin's wedding is on Saturday.
