Camping and Bright Lights Plans

Tomorrow we're leaving for two nights of camping near Pony, Montana in the Potosi campgrounds. We'll get to do hot springs, hiking, cooking over an open fire (unless the camp stove decides to behave), sleeping in tents, and so on. On Friday, Grandpa and Grandma head back to Billings with all the camping equipment, while the rest of us head to Pullman, Washington to visit Mom's parents, Grandpa and Grandma Davis. While we're there we're doing a church service at their church as well as a potluck concert. We return to Billings on the 9th. After that we get a couple more days of vacation in Montana until we leave on the 12th. August 12th, we'll kind of dawdle our way to Cedar Rapids, Iowa where Mom and I will be attending a Bright Lights radiant purity conference. During that day we hope to visit Mt. Rushmore and maybe some other exciting things. After that, we're not sure. We're going to stay the night in a motel, and then our plans depend on another homeschooling mom and her daughters who are also going to the conference. They're staying in the same hotel as us, and they might be taking Mom, Rosemary, and I home on the 14th after the conference. It depends on whether they can borrow a vehicle with enough seats for all of us. If they can, then Papa and the rest of the kids will go home on the 13th while Mom, Rosemary, and I stay for the rest of the conference. If not, then everyone will wait until the end of the conference and then we all will go home together, which is what looks like is going to happen.
