Our first day exploring the badlands

 The sign was a little frightening, but we persevered!

 Kellen (making some interesting fashion choices) happy with his climb!

 Skylar was off to the races.  She discovered a passion for climbing.  She always wanted to find the highest, most difficult rock to climb.

 Brennen is the ulimate big brother!  He absolutely takes care of his little sister.

 She made it to the top!

 For those that didn't need to go to high (or, mom would not let them!).

 Soooooo happy to be together again!  It had been three years since we were together.

 Annie and Kellen trying to get to Skylar.

 Papa in the big wide world.

 All done hiking and a modified "dock" photo!

 Then we had to explore the prairie so we could find...

 

 Prairie Dogs!

 And Buffalo (which turned out to be cows)!
