Mount Rushmore

I'm a little behind, but last June we went to Mt. Rushmore with Tyler's family. It was a lot of fun, especially because we got to meet up with Tyler's brother and his family ! We hadn't seen them in a long time. Unfortunately they took the boat back to Wisconsin, and we are still trying not to curse them every time we pass a lake here in Utah. But it was good to see them and we had a good time. We just wish Aunt Karli could have made it.

Grandma and Grandpa with all the kids.


They had this storybook park in South Dakota that had all these characters and slides and stuff like that. It was really fun for Emma. And the best thing about it.... totally Free!!!
Mya had fun too!
Let's be honest, the fun really didn't start until Sam got there with his light saber's. Emma had a blast following him around and fighting with him.
Martin's Cove
" Well, this was not as fun as it looked."

" I would much rather ride!"

This is a plaque they have in the visitor's center. It has all the names in the Martin Handcart Company. Thomas and Eleanor Ord were Tyler's great great great grandparents.
A charming addition to Mt.Rushmore, don't you think?
