Short and Sweet Vacation


My sister and her hubby live in South Dakota.  It's kind of in the hub of all the tourist attractions of the area.  We have had a lot of fun with this.  Almost every time we go out there, we try and see something.  This particular picture was taken at Devil's Tower in Wyoming.  The boys are all old enough that we could take the 1.5 mile hike around the base of the tower.  They sure had a good time!  They were running all over rocks and boulders while the adults stayed on the path.  It's really hard to tire them out:)  The problem with this for Wes is that the elevation is so high that he has trouble with his breathing and heart rate so we have to be a bit careful.  We had such a fun time exploring and visiting.  The 2 days were just too short!  We also visited the Air and Space Museum as well as Flag Mountain.
The boys really enjoyed the different types of planes and history at the museum.  Flag mountain was super steep and I almost freaked out.  The boys thrived!!  Aahh!!
