Trip to South Dakota!

We had the amazing opportunity to travel to South Dakota. We went with our friends Brandon and Macy Jones. We went to Mt. Rushmore, Jewel Cave, and Reptile Gardens. The Black Hills is such beautiful country! The first night we stayed in this amazing hotel in Keystone. What an awesome place!

Mt. Rushmore!

This place is truly amazing! I can't believe how the workers carved these faces into the mountain!
Happy Family minus one :)

Friends!

The Cave!

This cave is called Jewel Cave. It is one of the largest caves in the world! It is amazing the way that they have placed steps in there so you can go on a tour. Pretty cool place! Ready or not here we come!

We named the small opening behind us "Jamie Cave"

Very steep stairs!

I can't believe that after climbing 722 stair steps we are still smiling!

Welcome to Reptile Gardens! While it was rainy and cold they did have a neat indoor snake show. Yes we are really touching a snake. He acutally felt quite cool!
David touched it too I promise :) I just wasn't fast enough to get it on camera.

"I don't want to go in there daddy!" :)

All tuckered out!
