Michigan to Colorado Part 2

On the third morning of our trip from Michigan to Colorado, we took the kids to Mount Rushmore.

 

After that, we had our last night in a hotel just outside of Denver, at a hotel with a water slide!  The kids loved it!  It wasn't Great Wolf Lodge or anything... just a great water slide in a hotel that we got to enjoy as a family.

On the last morning of our trip home, we took the kids to breakfast and then we drove through Rocky Mountain National Park.  We came upon a heard of elk lounging in the sun right next to the road, which was fun.

 

There are elk behind us in these next two pictures

We arrived home late Sunday night with terrific memories of an amazing summer.

Traveling Home - Yellowstone

On the way home from my brother's we spent two nights in Idaho Falls, ID and one night in Cody, WY in order to spend some time around Yellowstone National Park, Teton National Park and the area where Hubby hunts.

Here are some pictures from the first part of the trip home:

Behind us it says "Welcome to Montana" -- the sign farthest to the left on the bridge behind us

Driving through the park, they got to ride in the middle seat sometimes so they could see wildlife better.

 We see a coyote!

Bison behind us (we saw tons)
