Day 13 – Wall, SD             

Well, it was back on the road again today.   We knew Mom and Dad were really tired from our “play day” yesterday so we let them sleep until 8:00.  Then it was back to the familiar routine of loading up the Jeep, getting our last “REST” stop done and heading out of Dodge (ok… make that Casper but we ARE in the wild west). 

We stopped by Aunt Beth’s and Uncle Tim’s to say goodbye.  Of course WE had to stay in the car.  Well… today I called them on that!  Dad left the window all the way down and I jumped out and joined him and Uncle Tim’s conversation inside the garage.  Boy was Dad ever SURPRISED!!!  (teehee) I was immediately re-incarcerated but that piece of freedom for one minute felt REALLY wonderful!  I told Dad I was just trying to teach him a lesson not to leave the window down.  I mean what would have happened if it was Lililoo who jumped out?  She would have run off and we would never find her!  Hey - that's an idea!!!

After picking up our “REST” results that were missed yesterday and Mom cleaning the patio door glass with our nose prints all over it, we were on our way.  I don’t know why she had to clean the door… we wanted to leave our “autograph” for our new friends to remember us by. 

We headed to that place called “The Badlands”.  It must have been pretty because Dad took a bunch of pictures (AGAIN).  I kept looking for the drop off place so we could leave Lililoo but we never did find it.  Alas, my sister is STILL with us.

Mom and Dad stopped at this place where there were LOTS of cars and 4 guys faces carved into the side of the mountain.  We got out for a “REST” and then got put back in the car.  Mom asked Dad if they should leave this one bag in the car (it’s never been left in the car before – always in the turtle on the top).  He said it would be fine and they proceeded to the lock the Jeep and walk where all the people were going.  As they were walking away, Lililoo was sniffing around that one bag.  WOW – WE HIT THE JACKPOT!!!  This was one case where Lililoo was a great asset to us!!!  She found a bunch of treats and all of the dog food.  Not being sure how long Mom and Dad would be gone we got to work immediately!!!  We ate a $13 bag of junk food (Beggin’ strips is what Mom calls them) and a large amount of the 5 gallon zip lock bag with Lili’s really rich, REALLY yummy dog food.  Just then Mom came back.  She was NOT HAPPY!!!  I don’t know why because they left it in there for us and WE were VERY happy!

 Next we went to this place called Rapid City and met up with Aunt Beth and Uncle Tim’s son Lucas and his girlfriend Jordyn (sp?).  They looked really nice and she was really pretty.  I didn”t get to be around them because… you guessed it… WE HAD  TO STAY IN THE CAR!!!

The last stop of the day was this place called Wall, SD.  We checked into the hotel, ate, “Rested” and then drove to town. 

Mom and Dad went into this place called Wall Drug.  It looked like a big store.   They didn’t stay long so once again, there must not have been any food there.  Then they went into The Badlands Bar.  They stayed longer there and came out with some pizza in a Styrofoam container.  Of course we didn’t get any of THAT either. 

Then we went to the hotel and went to bed.  For some reason, we were all tired even though we just rode around in the Jeep today.

Good, sleepy times!

Sleepy, sleepy...
