South Dakota

Thursday morning . . . First stop . . . Black Hills Bagels!!!

Off to Bear Country USA!! The boys rode up front and took turns driving!!







Mount Rushmore then ice cream!




A Naturalization Ceremony was going to take place at 2pm! Very cool!! Neat for those people to have it at Mt. Rushmore!

The boys really wanted to sit in this big chair!




The buffalo made them nervous! (Especially Blake)


Grandma's not afraid!

We love the petting zoo!! It is darling!!

Our favorite goats!!

Go Trent!! Way to be brave!






Trent petted a baby chick to sleep!!









We headed to Red Lobster to eat! Josh wanted to go there because it was the first place we went when we came to Rapid city together in 2000! (while dating)
***
The kids swam for a while! Blake slipped on the horribly slippery tile floor in the big pool area! He had a BIG goose egg with a cut down the middle! Sweet thing fell because he was telling Grandma and me to watch him jump off the side! He would run over and tell us to watch then run back!
***
Friday morning straight to Bear Country to see if we could catch the animals moving around! We did . . . we got a great view of the elk, reindeer, mountain lions, and bears.
***
Next Canyon Lake! One of my favorite places on earth! Dad and Grandma paddle boated the boys to feed the ducks!!




While I ran Trent to the bathroom Blake fell and hit his head on the boat seat! HUGE goose egg on his forehead! It will bruise for sure!! Poor thing!!


Ate lunch at . . . Black Hills Bagels!! Off to Storybook Island! The boys were hot and tired! We did not stay too long!!






Grant took these next few and did a great job!!






Took the boys back to the hotel to swim! Grandpa, Dad and Blake went to the Harley Store! We all went to Chili's for dinner! Then we rented Karate Kid in our room! Grandma and Grandpa put the boys to bed and Josh and I went to see The Switch! I slept through some of it!
***
