June 6 We took the kids to Storybook Island. It's a wonderful, free park in Rapid City operated by one of the service clubs (I can't remember which one for sure) running entirely on donations. The boys had a fantastic time there. Afterwards we had a picnic in the park until a thunderstorm started. There were tornado warnings that night!
No, I didn't take this picture. I found it on the Internet and liked it so much I couldn't resist.
That night we said our goodbyes and in the morning we left Rapid City. We drove through South Dakota & Wyoming, making a stop at Garyowen in Montana at a museum of Custer's Last Stand.
They had a lot of wonderful displays and a 40 minute video that considered if the story would have had a different ending if Major Reno and Captain Benteen had not hated Custer so much and had gone to his aid.
We spent the night in Billings Montana. The next day we headed out and drove straight through, arriving home at 2:30 AM on June 9th. We were exhausted and worn out but we had an exceptionally great time.
