Ft. Hays! This is where they filmed Dances With Wolves. We had a "cowboy breakfast in a barn on tin plates, and then walked around the Ft. There is a picture below of an upside down tree. They cut it down, flipped it over, and well, it's growing :)
Badlands! Well, Sean wasn't too impressed. If anyone has ever been to Western Colorado or Utah, you would probably say the same thing. I'm glad we did it, but it sure didn't compare to the landscapes of Utah and Colorado
These pictures are from WALL DRUG. I know, wired name, huh? Well, after driving out in the middle of nowhere to see the Badlands, we literally saw probably 50 billboards advertising for WALL DRUG along the way. So, we decided to stop and see what it was. Well, this is what it was...a strip of themed stores, a wax museum, fountains for hte kids to play, and many places to take pictures. It was actually AWESOME!
These pictures are from Mt. Rushmore! It was actually a lot smaller than I thought it would be, but still quite amazing! We had to hike about a mile if we wanted to get up closer to the mountain.
These last three are from Crazy Horse. This Memorial is HUGE! It's the largest sculpture in the world and probably won't be done in our lifetime. It's taken them 50 years to JUST do the face, and they're hoping to carve out his arm, his flowing hair, torso, and his horse! It was amazing!
What fun times! You guys sure do get out alot. I wish we had more time and I was more adventurous, haha. You look amazing btw. I can't believe you just had a baby! You look better than I do! You are amazing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful vacation for you and your family! America is an amazing country. I love that you and Sean expose your boys to so many wonderful things - these are the memories that will last forever. Have a great summer!
