Friday Harbor Trip--Day 2

Today we drove to Dickinson, North Dakota. It was a long day in the car so the boys went right to the pool when we arrived. We got Pizza and ate in the motel so the boys could have more time in the pool. We crossed both the Missouri River ( the longest in the US) and the Mississippi River ( the second longest river in the US) .
