Summer Vacation Trip to Mt. Rushmore June 29th

What a drive from Sioux Falls to Keystone.  We had a beautiful 4 hour detour to Laura Ingalls Wilder Homestead in DeSmet, South Dakota.  We got to ride in a covered wagon to the school and see a Lutheran (AELC) Church.  My sister, Lori even got to drive the horse on the wagon ride.  We made Corn Cob Dolls, braided rope, ground wheat seeds, they petted a baby pony that was so adorable, went to school, checked out a "dug out" house and a shanty house.  (I prefer the dugout one because it was cooler inside.) Then we went around the town. 

I didn't know that Mt. Rushmore was in mountain time so was disappointed in the time it took to get here.  It started out flat, and the around the Missouri River it was very hilly and beautiful.  I missed the scenic outlook, we will have to hit that on the was home.  The bad lands were very cool.  We just stayed on the highway 90 but we will hit that on the way home!

Our windshield was full of splatted creatures God didn't want on the earth!  It was getting hard to see so we had to get a my car washed.
