This morning, we went to Crazy Horse Monument. It was a beautiful day, partly cloudy with a bright blue sky and whiter-than-white clouds. But it was really windy and cold. When the wind wasn't blowing, it was nice. So we toured around the monument and saw all that there was to see there, then went to Mount Rushmore. It was more beautiful there than I remembered (I was there when I was about 12.....or so). The wind died down and it was pleasantly warm. We all bought souveneirs - Luke bought a book, Ken bought a pin and I bought some Black Hills Gold - a necklace.
We left Mount Rushmore and went to a little town called Keystone, which is an old wild west town, with saloons, shootouts and tourist traps. As we were walking back to the car, it started to sprinkle. We were traveling the same way as the storm was, and it followed us back to Rapid City. Right now, the sun is shining, but I can hear thunder. We're just resting now, then we'll head out for dinner, then we'll be in for the night.
Miss you all and wish you were here!
Here are some pictures from our day.

(Notice the wind!)
We took a bus tour to the base of the monument. WINDY!
There is much work left to be done on the monument...obviously.
This is what the monument will look like
when it's done.
Here we are at Mt Rushmore.
