Family Vacation

We had a wonderful vacation. We started out from my parents on Sunday night and drove to Rawlins, Wyoming. Monday morning we drove to Martin'sCove, Wyoming and looked around. The kids were able to pull some handcarts through a little park. It was really cute to see them pull the handcarts. Hunter said, "This is really hard." I explained to him how what he was doing was nothing compared to what the pioneers went through. They loved pulling the handcart and they each got a "diamond" ring (made from a diamond nail), and a necklace for looking at different buildings.
We then drove on to the Mammoth Site in Hot Springs, SD. There we went on a little tour of the site and saw where they were digging for mammoth bones.

After the mammoth site we drove onto Mount Rushmore. This was awesome. Especially when we saw the mountain light up. It was an amazing experience. The kids had a good time and we were able to see a lot.






We stopped in Deadwood, SD and saw my aunt, and then we drove through Yellowstone. The kids absolutely loved seeing Old Faithful. Where as, the post is full of pictures, I'm not going to post anymore here, but suffice it to say, we had a great time, but are glad to be back home.

sounds like you had a great time! I can't wait until my boys are a little older so we can take them to significant places and they will remember it. Thanks for your comment on facebook too.
