4th of July in the Black Hills: Mt. Rushmore and Buffalo

 It wouldn't be a trip to the Black Hills without some up close encounters with buffalo!  We came across this big guy on a dirt road in Custer State Park. 

 Once the buffalo was checked off the list it was time for Mt. Rushmore!  This was the highlight--right here.  The boys' first view of the faces.  Within 15 minutes they were underwhelmed.  But Darin and I enjoyed learning how they created the sculptures:-)
