Hello and Happy Father's Day!!!

It is not always easy being a parent, but it is a blessing. Raising children takes a lot of hard work and dedication, especially these days. The time is well invested though and can be very rewarding! With that said, I am so thankful for fathers. This week I am thanking God for that precious man I have enjoyed for the last 20 years! The kids and I appreciate the time he spends with us and his dedication! Thank you Dads!!
We have not been posting as much as we had hoped. This trip got a little more complicated when we blew a brake line!! We are praising the Lord for His loving care through all of this. First,when the line went we where not towing and it was near Rapid City, South Dakota. Much of the trip we have passed through sparsely populated areas. Second, the travel information center we were able to pull into was not closed yet and they were so helpful getting us towed. The tow truck and rental car both showed up quickly. That was a blessing!!! We were able to still visit Mt. Rushmore and return to Hope (our golden retriever) who was waiting for us at the trailer which was some distance away in Interior still. We were supposed to haul the trailer to Sturgis, S.D. the next morning. To make a long story short, we are still in Interior waiting for the truck. When we went to pick it up yesterday the technician was going to let us leave with it, but thankfully Tim looked things over and asked questions. They we going to let us drive that truck when they did not bleed the two passenger brake lines, the front is the replaced one!!! Very dangerous especially hauling! I am so glad that God is in control! Thank You to our friends for prayers!!!
We are still having a great time in spite of it all and have many pictures to share. Tiffany can't wait to post about it tonight. We are enjoying the beauty and diversity of our ever changing landscape on this trip! Take care and know that you are in our prayers too.
