Busy in the Black Hills

I am finally getting back to posting more pictures from our trip to the Black Hills. 

We started off the trip by trying to strike it rich by panning for gold.  Guess what?  We found 4 flecks of gold - we are not rich, but it was fun trying!




We did see real wildlife.  These deer were not fenced in!




Our first of many views of the heads.
And then from much closer!



The birthday girl at Mount Rushmore!




We blend right in.

At dusk.  Right before the lighting ceremony cut short by a severe thunderstorm rolling through.
We also rode the 1880 train.



Looking for more wildlife along the way.



We hiked around Sylvan Lake - always picturesque.










It was freezing, but kiddo thought it was warm enough to wade in!


The drive along Needles Highway was beautiful, too.





Ever had a day when you felt like this?


Kaylynn was able to finish the Junior Ranger program for her badge!


A successful trip!
