Trip To South Dakota & Wyoming

         It sure has been a long time since I have last posted on my blog!! But it hasn't been because I haven't wanted to, it has been because I have been crazy busy making summer memories with my little family!
         My sister flew in for a visit at the end of May. We had to go and pick her up at the Minneapolis Airport, which is like 8 hrs from here.Sure it saved us $200 on the ticket and we spent like $200 to get there... But we also got to go and explore The Mall Of America while we were there!! Now that was pretty cool!! We also took like a 5 day weekend and did some traveling with her. We went to see Mount Rushmore!

And a cool thing about it was that in the gift shop there was one of the original carvers of Mount Rushmore there giving signatures and what not! If that is not cool then I don't know what is!!

This is my sister and I at the Crazy Horse

They had a lot of Native American stuff there.
Below is all we got to see of the carving,
we did not take the bus to go and view it.

Caroline in the Jewel Cave

Yes, my amazing husband carried my amazing 2 yr old

This is Devil's Tower in Wyoming

We ended up just driving down there

One evening to see the sunset
