Mt. Rushmore

One of the many buffalo we saw on our trip.

Chris and I inside Wind Cave.

Claire and Carter inside Wind Cave. Lots of cool rock formations, plus a lot of box work, which looks like spiderwebs.

Crash, Chase, and Claire in Wind Cave. A highlight of the trip for Chase. We saw the natural opening for the cave in the rock, which was the size of a basketball.

The little bear cubs at Bear Country wrestling with eachother.

Bear Country in Rapid City. This bear was right outside our car on "patrol"

Crash's favorite part of Bear Country, the big brown bear bottoms.

This bear was enjoying his view from the tree.

Who do we look like? Maybe a little like the president's on Mt. Rushmore?

What a beautiful family I have.

We made it to Mt. Rushmore, despite all of the rain.

On our drive to Mt. Rushmore we stopped in Guernsy, WY to see the wagon ruts. The Oregon Trail went through here along with the Mormon pioneers. Chris and the kids are standing in the middle of the ruts.
