Mt Rushmore and the Wind Cave

This morning we slept in. I think 8am is an absolute record for this family!!! Then we headed over to the big tent for the pancake breakfast cook out - complete with buffalo sausage. Then it was back to Mt. Rushmore. We were hoping to walk the Presidential Loop but half of it was closed because they are loading up all the fireworks for the 4th of July celebration later this week. You can see the guys on top working if you look really close in the picture.... Oh well, we toured around the memorial a bit more and took the audio tour and got some more great photos.

Then is was off to the Wind Cave. None of us quite knew what to expect, but we thought the boys would get a kick out of it and they did for the most part. Adam was scared for the first half but once he relaxed he did enjoy it quite a bit and Kevin loved it. Erik enjoyed it until his potty emergency over took his attention.

After that we went into Hill City for dinner. Turns out that this little western town is a big motorcycle and Harley Davidson town so the boys kept jumping everytime another bike started up. Then it was back to the camp resort for mini golf, water park, horse shoes and ice cream.

We had another fun and full day. Tomorrow we're headed to the west side of Yellowstone. It will be a long driving day so I'm not sure if we'll have much to write about. we'll see how it goes.....
