Black Hills, SD

 We started the summer with a little family trip to the Black Hills.  We jam packed our days with fun and site seeing.  This post is a bit long but I had to add a photo from  most of our stops. 

Quite possibly running into my co-worker was the most exciting thing about this place.  But Corey and the kids had never been there so we had to stop.

There was plenty to see at Wall Drug

I think I may need a giant tortoise for a pet.  And who would have thought I had a blast at Reptile Gardens.

One of my favorite photos of Sam.  Mostly because he first took one with a smile and then said, wait that is not the right face and had me retake this one. 

Bear Country- After you Bears...

The Cosmos Mystery Area was a favorite of ours.  It is so weird how you think you are standing straight, but you are not.

Go Carts are a favorite of the kids- mom just watches as she is too slow and careful. 

Both kid did rock wall climbing too.

1880 Train Ride - such neat views along the way.



A little family fun at Mount Rushmore.

Sure Buffalo we will wait for you on this winding road.

Wind Cave and Wind National Park- kids had never been to a cave before.  We all loved it. 

Laura and Corey posing at the Bad Lands

Sam had fun climbing up and down on some of the Bad Lands formations.

We all had so much fun and can't wait to see what our next year's adventure will be.
