Back from South Dakota

We had a great trip. We made it home Friday night about 9:30 pm. We were pretty pooped. We spent the weekend doing all the things that need to be done when you get back from vacation...laundry, cleaning, putting things away, working in the yard..etc.

We had a nice Father's Day too. I will blog about that later...

We stayed busy on our trip. Did lots of fun things. Really enjoyed seeing Mt. Rushmore. We all thought it was much more impressive in person. I enjoyed it more than I expected to. Mark said the same thing. The Black Hills are beautiful. We stayed in a cabin at a campground in Hill City, just a few miles from Mt. Rushmore. The Streeters recommended it and it was great. Thanks Elaine and Mike! We stayed in a one room cabin the first 2 nights and upgraded to a 2 room cabin with a lot more space the last 2 days. It was nice to spread out, although we didn't spend a whole lot of time there. The kids enjoyed scootering and riding their bikes around the campground. There is a lot to do around Mt. Rushmore. Bear Country, Reptile Gardens, Fossil museums, the mammoth site, we also hit an indoor water park. Here a some of the pictures...
