preparing to leave!

we are getting ready to leave for our summer vacation! this year we are going to glacier national park in montana, banff national park in cananda, with a quick stops in yellowstone national park and grand teton national park. we will be gone a little over two weeks and are camping the whole time! we are leaving at 10 pm friday night with both of matt's brothers families and caravaning to rapid city, south dakota where we will meet up with matt's parents and visit mt. rushmore at night. on our way to rapid city we are going to stop at our first national park of this trip - badlands national park. hopefully we will have plenty of chances to update this as we go...
