The day after Christmas, Grandpa offered to show us some of the sights. We had not been on the road for very long when I noticed a tired kiddo in the back seat ...
Make that TWO tired kiddos ...
Actually THREE!!!
Even Daddy was tired!
And it was only 10:30 in the morning!
This fellow, however, wasn't missing anything!
Everyone woke up -- or was woken up -- when we reached Mount Rushmore ... except Little Sleeper.
Little Sleeper's slumber was disrupted, however, by cold, gusty winds -- so his peepers were open for our family Mount Rushmore picture :)
Next on the agenda was lunch -- at the Crazy Horse Cafe --
I'm not really sure what it was called ... probably something similar to the Crazy Horse Cafe ...
Foof used the camera and took about twenty-three pictures of this. I didn't think to take one ... so we get to enjoy this upward angle due to Foofie's small stature :) This is a model of what the Crazy Horse monument will eventually look like ... in another hundred years or so.
Here it is from afar ...
And a little less far ...
See Halo's shoes??? I mean ... slippers??? Dear Halo was helping get things out to our van on Christmas morning in her ... jeans ... and her fancy, black, high-heeled shoes. She never changed out of her dress shoes and forgot to bring any other shoes with. So ... she did her South Dakota touring in a pair of Grandma's slippers :)
It's best to borrow slippers {instead of shoes} when you wear a size 9.5
in casual shoes and a 10.5
in running shoes. She doesn't think it's so funny just now ... but I assured her we'll all laugh about it in a few years :)
