We went to Mountain Rushmore (another Brodyism) yesterday. It was a very nice day. Sunny but cool. I had 4 layers on to keep warm. Rob was working so it was just me and the kids. We went on the bus with the wellness guests again. When we got there, I took the kids on the Presidential Trail which goes down to the base of the faces. It was a trail with lots and lots of stairs of which I carried Jovie for over 250 of those. She went down them and it made her leg sore (from breaking it earlier this year) so I had to carry her up. Good work out! Of course I had to stop at every view and get a picture of the kids. They weren't very interested in smiling for the camera or even looking at the camera! I finally had to tell them to smile for a picture for Grandma Cheryl and Lady. That worked!
Here are some (well, a lot of) pictures:
Here we entered the park and they are excited!
With the sculptor.
Me and my Monkeys!
I love their faces in this one! My silly monkeys!
In the Sculptor's Studio
Checking out the wildlife. Brody said, "This is nature! It's SO cool!"
Jovie thinks we are going to leave her with the goats. :)
Climbing the steps...
The South Dakota Plains in the distance. Beautiful Day!
Part of the steps. Brody is up there, the girl is a new friend, Jolie.
My baggage I was carrying. :)
Tree up the nose!
They look so majestic!
I love this shot. The lighting, the tree in the bottom left, the nose...
Us and the Presidents.
My sillies again. :)
Brody loves caves!
This one had a great view!
"Mommy? Is this safe???" :) She was really checking out everyone else and not wanting to look at the camera.
Sweet little face of my 'big' boy.
It was a fun day!
Thanks for posting those photos. We miss you guys. Love seeing the monkeys having so much fun. Margo says hi and love you and you are missed. We look forward to seeing you again someday soon.
