Hey guys!!!! Sarah here posting her first blog!! It only took me 9 days! Well were driving another super long stretch right now, from the badlands to Chicago. We had to break it up into two days, cause it's about 14 hours...make a trip to mo-town look like cake!!!!!!

Well, typical Sarah, I decided to go for a morning swim at the koa in the badlands. I was on my 5th lap, came up for air, was turning around for my 6th and saw a snake in the pool!!!!!! Lite rally less than an arms length away from Me!!!! I freaked out, and funny enough all the girls were walking passed me to go breakfast and saw the whole thing! Needless to say, that was the end of my swim! I might be used to the idea if snakes when I'm at my lake house but really don't EVER see them. Gross!!!!!!

The badlands were amazing, if you dont know about them, google it! Theyre gorgeous! mt rushmore was cool, but we all expected it to be a LOT bigger. Were thinking if it had been at night it would have looked slightly more impressive. Nonetheless, it was quite extraordinary to see a national monument of that merit.

The KOA we stayed at in mt rushmore was amazing!!! It had a jumping pillow, pool, laundry, brand new showers, a pizza place, horse r ides, pancake breakfast, a pub, arts and crafts and a water slide. But NO cell service....but we had wifi, which is always a bonus!! We tyedyed shirts and ended up dunking our hair in the dye!!! Don't worry mom, were thinking it's going to wash out!!!! :-)

We made some pretty great stops on our route from rushmore to the badlands. Including bear country, and old macdonalds farm. Linds got to see the pig race but molls and I just barely missed it!!

Yesterday we stopped at the corn palace, MAN, that place....I don't really have words. It's cool, but pretty hyped up!!!!

So, were in our last weekend, as I said headed to Chicago for the night. Were staying in a hotel, not rv park, and were all really excited for a goooood shower. And to shave our legs!!

We've been collecting some really cool souvenirs from all the super awesome places we've gone. We've been collecting coozies from all kind of random places. It's almost like a game now.

We miss everyone like nuts, but this is seriously the trip of a lifetime, and we never want it to end.

Can't wait to see everyone!

Love from the rv

That was mollie btw.

Driving through bad lands right now. It's so crazy!! Listening to This Land is Your Land, This Land is My Land. What a classic! It's our last weekend on the road. I'm really sad about it for the first time. I find myself wondering what I'm going to do when it's over. Although we have only been gone three weeks it feels like this is all i've ever done. The real world seems so far away. When it's really over I'll go back to reality a changed person. with a more open mind and heart. America is so beautiful and mind blowing. We are all so lucky to call it home.

We are winging it tonight. Stoping at the first place we think is cool. Then to Chicago for our last night!! Stay stylin east cost. See ya soon!!!
