6-27-12: South Dakota

We spent the morning at Mt. Rushmore and went to the museum there and gift shop. Luke has been talking about a
Rushmore bobble head the entire trip and they didn't have one! They had each president separate, and they were bobble-collector editions, so they were a little too pricey for Luke's little budget. I think we may try to find one at a souvenir shop after dinner.
The RV park that we are staying at, Beaver Lake Campground, has this awesome slide. The weather is perfect- sunny and warm without being hot and the kids are having a blast. I have to confess that I was only going to ride once or twice, but I couldn't resist the unlimited pass! David ran into to town for a couple trailer things and bike things and is now sleeping on the grass by me! :)
We decided that the initial trip plan was a little too ambitious, so we made the difficult decision not to go Iowa to visit Vivy's friend or make it to the St. Louis Arch. With all the wildfires dotting Colorado, we are still figuring out our entire route. I do know that we will be taking things slow and spending more time enjoying the camping part.
Tomorrow we are touring Jewel Cave National Monument! I am so excited! Hope David fits! (We had to skip the one where you had to pass through a 8 1/2" by 24" space! LOL! I don't think even I could have done that!)
Happy Days!!
