The first time we went to Mount Rushmore was when I was pregnant with Shelby. We didn't realize they didn't take credit cards, so we had to turn around in the parking lot. I never got close enough to really look. This was one of the things we needed to do before moving away from Casper. We left on the 11th after school and came home on the 13th. Perfect little vacation and fun way to celebrate Tyson's 3rd birthday!
This was also a fun trip because Randy found out all about his new job with New World Systemns and how much they were going to offer him. So, while we were excited about the beauty all around, we were also excited about the adventure coming up for our family!
After that, we decided to see more of the black hills. We went to Rushmore Cave. It was amazing. By the time you made it back to your car after the tour, you'd walked over 500 stairs. It didn't feel like it, since most of the time you were looking around at all of the splendor. There is evidence that that cave is over 1400 years old. Awesome! It was also neat to see that the stalactites and stalactites are transparent. He placed his flashlight on different ones to show us the beautiful different colors ranging from clear to frosted coral. Beautiful. We also found out that three different couples were married in the cave. Not my thing, but cool just the same.
This is the Zipline. Brennon and Tyson were too short to ride. Let me tell you, they were TICKED. They're like me and like rides, so I stayed back with them. Above is Caden and Keilie. It was fun to see their excitement as they were being buckled in. They were looking at each other and laughing. As soon as the ride started Keilie sat straight back, pushed her head to the rest, while her face because shear terror! I was laughing so hard. She was so nervous:)
Randy was looking at Shelby the whole time. I think it was easier for her with Randy right next to her. She just sat there with a cute smile on her face. I, however, was still laughing at Keilie's face!
This little guy threw the biggest tantrum because he didn't get to ride. We had to carry him to the car kicking and screaming. He put his head down the second he got in the car to "punish" us. He ended up taking a 2 hour nap. He's been having these kinds of tantrums ever since. We've always had terrible threes. Hope it doesn't last a whole year!
