While waiting for the 1880 Train ride to Keystone from Hill City, the kids entertained themselves by playing tag, red light green light, and mother may I on the lawn.
Us with the Steam Engine
On the train going to Keystone. Kyle was the most excited to ride the train. He loves trains!
All the excitement wore off and a nap on Dad's shoulder won.
After the train ride, we went to the museum. Kyle didn't want to leave the model train set. This was his favorite part of the entire South Dakota Trip.
We took a drive on the Needles Scenic Highway. The Rock formations were amazing and driving through the rocks was great! We were so close to the rock walls that we could touch them on both sides at the same time
The next morning, we got up early again and headed to Mount Rushmore! We had talked this part of the trip up for months. The kids were very impressed with it and knew each of the presidents names.
We must of talked about the presidents so much that even Kyle knew who Abraham Lincoln is. He received a dollar coin from someone on the trip and informed us that it was Lincoln on it...we were all surprised by it
Washington in my hand! The picture above is from a trip Matthew and I made in August 2007)
After Mount Rushmore, we went to the Presidential Wax Museum in Keystone, SD. The kids loved having their own audio device for the tour. Everyone got to pick the person they wanted to get a picture with.
Kyle picked Teddy Roosevelt and Regina picked the "wedding person"
Jennie picked the council of Indians before the battle at Little Bighorn
