We're Baa-ack!

We've eaten too much ice cream and fast food, missed too many naps and baths, and have plenty of laundry to keep us busy, but we had a GREAT time in the Black Hills! The hilights include: Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, cave and gold mine tours, Reptile Gardens, swimming and water slide at the pool, visiting Brian's old church camp and even running into people he knew, and last but not least, spending time with our boys and Grandma!

The weather was great, the boys traveled well in the car, everyone stayed healthy...we had no glitches whatsoever! We would love to go back again in a few years. It's well worth the trip!

Are we there yet?

Great pictures - love the one of the 4 boys looking at Mt. Rushmore. Of course Adam is trying to climb up the railing!

Looks like you had a great time and the boys will remember the trip for a long time!

How fun! We did the Black Hills/Yellowstone for our honeymoon and would love to take the kiddos back there some day. Maybe when we are done with diapers!
