Mt Rushmore Trip
Well we went last weekend to Mt Rushmore with two other families from the ward the Allens and the Gardners. We had a blast. We left thursday morning really early and got to our campsite about 2:30. We set up camp and then had dinner. The kids were all tired of the car so the little ones went to bed and the rest stayed up. On Friday we went to Mt Rushmore on our way there we ran into some wild Burros who were very friendly and came right up to the car and ate out of our hands. We then ran into a Buffalo. It was really cool. Mt Rushmore was amazing. The Mountain is really cool, pictures don't do it justice you really have to be
there to see it. We then went to Edwards space museum and saw a bunch of planes. We headed home for dinner and a quite night at camp. On Saturday we went panning for gold. Rusty found a garnet stone but had to give it to the forest ranger. Rusty then took all the kids fishing. There was a river right by the camp site. The kids loved it. All the kids caught very small fish. They thought it was cool. We then went on a wild life caravan where we saw all kinds of wild animals like turkey, deer, elk and of course buffalo. We were right in the middle of the herd. It was cool they were crossing the road and eating right by us. There were tons of them and they had little ones too. We went on a short hike to see a very big tree that was over 100 years old. We then went back to camp for smores and our last night near a fire. Sunday we got up ate and cleaned up camp and drove home. Over all we had a great time and would suggest this trip to anyone. We had a really good time. I really liked because we had heat in our cabin and flushing toilets and showers. So it was all good. Enjoy the pictures.
Love you all.
Love you all.
