A bit ambitous for less than two weeks to see and enjoy all that much. Mt Rushmore and Grand Canyon need at least a week to let the kids see and do. with all the travel, its gonna have to fast in and out. from here in W Tennessee, there are a lot of quick things between here and there. The jolly green giant in Blue Earth, the Spam museum, Devils tower, Wall Drugs (nice campground there) The badlands, Painted desert, petrified forest, Pipestone National Monument, (good campground close), and finally Yellowstone and the Tetons. Yellowstone is BIG, Lots to see, trails to hike, and animals to see(not pet!!) lots of time needed just to drive from place to place, not counting picnics and such.
Way too ambitious IMO. Maybe the GCNP and some of the four corner parks might fit in 2 weeks. But you will probably spend 4 days each way on driving with that many kids and the dogs needing frequent stops. I'd do the north rim of GCNP, then Bryce and Zion. Or do Yellowstone and the South Dakota area. You won't have time for more.
