Day 4-We have arrived!

I am excited I finally slept more than 4 hours and got a nice peaceful 7 hour rest in the Best Western in Gilette, Wyoming. We woke up around 7:30, showered, and started thinking about eating. Well, I guess the adults did, not the kids so much, because I got a text from what I thought was Bruce but ended up being Kati asking were we ready to go swimming at 8 a.m... All the boys left and ended up finding breakfast in what seemed like an eternity but, it was because Justin really wanted Hardees and what Justin wants what Justin gets... :) We ate cinnamon raisin rolls which were quite delicious and immediately after took the kids swimming in the pool before check out at 11 which we did on the dot.

Today has kind of been uneventful we drove about 5 hours to get to Wapiti but not before stopping  on the side of the road in Ten Sleep Wyoming to get some pictures and at the Crazy Woman Cafe which probably suited everyone in the van not just women.

 

We did have to stop once because of a herd of pronghorn antelope running out in front of our vehicle. Later on down the road we were able to snap some pictures of another family group... so far that has been the most seen wildlife animal but we haven't entered Yellowstone yet. 

We are settled into our stay for the remainder of vacation nicely at Rand Creek. There are no air conditioners or tv's and that's ok. It's kind of hot during the day but we have box fans to sit in windows and it's cool because we have views like this from our front porch:

a paddle boat for the kids to play on and horses to play with:

We all sat around a fire talking to a girl that works here during the summer to end our day. I say we all talked to her but really Kati and Alli talked to her and at one point all the kids minus Hunter were huddled up around her. It was quite entertaining to watch and she was a good sport and answered each and every question the kids had. Kati I think asked her everything humanly possible from what color bedspread she had to did she like working here. It was very cute!

 

Tomorrow bright and early we will be going into Yellowstone finally! Night! Melissa
