On the road again, to south Dakota

Evvie slept well last night but was up bright and early at 6am. We got dressed and then started breaking down camp. It didnt take as long because we only set up the tents and cots. After we were all packed up, we ate some cereal and then got on the road. We passed by lots and lots of corn fields, and a huge wind farm! We stopped at a rest stop for a potty break and they had one of the blades of a wind turbine there and they are even bigger than they look, and they look huge from the road!!!

Our drive today is a bit shorter so we scoured the internet for a cool place to stop. I found a guy that built a giant spider sculpture out of a vw bug. It was only 2 miles off the highway, so we decided to stop. It was a fun little detour. We filmed a little segment for our youtube show there too.

The rest of the afternoon was spent driving. We finally got to our campground and got out to discover that there were gale force winds.  We got one tent set up, and realized we were going to need a lot more stakes. Dad went off to the store to get those so mom and i took the kids to the "waterpark" attached to the campground. They had a nice little splash pool with baby slide, a pool with a huge waterslide and a hot tub. Once dad got back, the big kid and i got out to help set up the other tents.... And catastrophe struck. One of our tents ripped in the wind! We finally got the other tent up and decided to squeeze me and evvie in with the big kids instead of wrestle with a 3rd tent. It was late by the time we finished so instead of getting the cook stove out, dad took us out to mexican. After dinner i put the kittle kids to bed while the big kids spent some more time in the pool. Now i am charging up my electronics befor i head to bed myself. Fingers crossed for less wind tomorrow.
