South Dakota II

Part 2 of our SD trip. Mt. Rushmore! It was fun to actually see this in person. It's crazy how big and amazing it looks. I knew it was big, but it's definitely bigger than I was expecting! It's crazy to think someone actually sculpted this! Amazing!! Here's a few of that wonderful monument!







This shot was at night. It was windy, freezing and raining!! It would've been a better experience had it not been such horrible weather. All I wanted was a shot of it lit up and get out of there!!


Veterans cemetery, just outside of Deadwood(more of that to come soon). Such a humbling experience to see all the brave soldiers who fought for our freedom. It was great to have Payton walk around with me. It was a great teaching moment. I was glad to share it with my baby girl! I am truly Proud to be an American!!

South Dakota

Finally got some time to post some pics from our trip this year. I've decided to post several post with different part of our vacation. So here goes with part one in no particular order.

The CAVES. We went to 2 caves while in SD. Black Hills Caverns and then Jewel Caves. The were pretty cool, and as usually better looking than the photos. I don't like having to use flash!

The Family

'Cave Bacon' it was pretty cool looking
Davey Jones anyone?
This is the farthest we went into the cave.
My boys. Koen did not like being there. He was really bored!
StoryBook Island! This place was really cool I wish we had something out here like this! Child Photographers heaven!! Here's just a few with the kids.












Check out these last 2. Um... Payton... How about you move your hand :)
