Road Trip

This is our second annual road trip with Shane's family, Mom and Dad and our family. We went to the Black Hills of South Dakota, Mt. Rushmore and Devil's Tower, plus a few stops here and there.

Road Trip

Independence Rock

The wind was blowing a million miles an hour when we were at Independence Rock. Aubre said that she had something in her mouth so she spit it out and the wind blew it back into her eye.

This is what happens when Jace asks Bret, "Am I a filly or a stallion?"

Another favorite, the "wild" burros. Are they really wild?

Each morning, we got up early and drove the wild life loop at the park. It paid off to be up at the crack of dawn. We saw a ton of animals. This is one of my favorites, a mom and baby big horn sheep.

I have always felt that every little girl needs a big brother because of this guy, my awesome brother.

Now for the whole scene, or at least as much as I could get.

Shane's kids and our kids have always been like mountain goats; they can climb anything. (Even our walls. That is for another post). See the head at the top?

Last year we drove through a tree, this year a hole in the rock.

We went on a hike in the park to the granite towers called the cathedral. Once we were on top, we saw this amazing view.

Annual Road Trip

We made a stop at Devil's Tower. Shane, Chalisa, J.T. and Jaden ran the 1.3 miles around the base of the tower. It is an awe inspiring sight.

This is what happens when you put six kids in a pool after sitting in the car for twelve hours.
