Roadtrippin' Part 2

Well, when I said I'd update about the rest of our roadtrip later, I didn't mean this much later, but oh well. Life has been happening. More on that later... ;)

Picking up where I left off, we drove from Lincoln, NE to Jackson Hole, WY. This was our destination. My cousin, Kelly, got married here on July 14. It was a beautiful location, a beautiful wedding, and an all around wonderful time with my family and relatives. Alex, the girls, and I stayed in a loft style room in Teton Village with my parents. It was a great location with awesome restaurants, shops, a playground, and much more right outside our room.

All the cousins! 
Mr. and Mrs. Russo! 
My hubby and I clean up nice. 
Love my family. <3

I think this is one of my favorite pics of Adaleigh. My child is absolutely beautiful.
Me and Aubriella. She wasn't a happy girl at the high elevation without a nap that day. 
Jackson Hole is located right outside two amazing national parks that we also got to visit while we were out there, Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone National Park. We got to see amazing wildlife out there and gorgeous scenery. It was breathtaking!
Old Faithful!
Adaleigh and Alex!
She was so excited to see real lily pads. "Where are the frogs?" lol
Always loves to learn and discover.
"Get me out of this thing!" 
Aubriella and her daddy. <3

After leaving the national parks, we headed to South Dakota to visit Mount Rushmore. We stopped in Deadwood, SD, Rapid City, SD, and Sioux Falls, SD. We went to Bear Country USA since we didn't spot any wild bears in Wyoming. We also spotted the Flintstone's Bedrock City adventure. I must also mention that I tasted the best pie ever made on planet earth in South Dakota. Who would've thunk it?!

This was a tad bit creepy.

I loved these little bears.
