Mt. Rushmore/Crazy Horse

Today we went to Mt. Rushmore. I took a family trip there 25 years ago and was surprised how much I remembered, but I appreciated it more this time. The mountain is amazing!

We also checked out Crazy Horse, which is a huge project. It was very neat - I would love to see it finished someday but at the rate they are going, I will be long dead before it is complete. Grant's favorie part of Crazy Horse? Well, we toured the house of the original sculptor and there was a cat wandering around. He was obsessed with it, cried when we left, and talked about it the rest of the day. The next day he asked if we could go back to Crazy Horse.

Can I get a little WOO WOOO?

We also toured Jewel Cave today, but got there too late for the big tour. So we only had a 20-minute tour. Grant enjoyed his first cave experience.

We stayed at Custer State park, which is BEAUTIFUL, and there is a herd of about 1,500 buffalo that live there. In the evenings they tend to cluster together and we drove around to see them 2 nights. They weren't too scared of the cars, but when a small group of bicyclists (not motorized) came through, the buffalo took off running.
