South Dakota

In the middle of the summer, we drove out to South Dakota with three other families to check out the Badlands, Mt Rushmore, and the other sites. This was an awesome vacation! The kids loved it, and we couldn't believe the number of activities and sites to see!

We stopped at the Badlands on the way out, although since it was 110+ degrees, we didn't stay long.

What amazing views!




One of the great sites to see!












Nothing like horseback riding through the mountains!!!



























The wildlife were everywhere... so much that Jacob fit right in!

























This was one of several "bear stories" that I shared with the kids. We were looking for sleeping bears, so I sent the kids to check out the "bear's den" that we found. The kids were so into it, that Jacob insisted on taking his weapon with (a small branch barely visible in his left hand) in case he actually saw one.








One of the interesting sites..... everything in this building was a little slanted. (and no, Sara isn't leaning on the wall)












Rhonda trying to be a cowboy!










Jacob is a ham in front of a camera!


We stopped at Sioux Falls on the way out
to get a break from the long drive.
The kids loved the water park at the hotel.
