Mount Rushmore

We have been exploring a lot lately which has led to lots of mapping and talk of directions and such. Ira is also quite fond of Brendan Fraser movies like the mummy, journey to the center of the earth, etc....

She really loved this huge compass.





We drove down to mt rushmore...


And the still in progress crazy horse memorial...... Which is going to be So incredibly huge and awesome! Ira is really into knowing everything there is to know about native American history. The insight she brings is beautiful. If only adults could look at politics through a childs eyes! She was really impressed by this site. A storm rolled in with damaging winds so we had to get back to the hotel, missing the museum.


Jared got caught outside in a hail storm.... I didn't get a picture- but Ira drew one :)


Then we went to dinner. For anyone in the habit of going out to eat- outback has an awesome kids menu. It had mazes and connect the dots and sudoku.


Ira LOVED the sudoku! She did a great job!


Outback also had a ton of sidewalk chalk and a LOT of sidewalk-


Liv catching up on some journaling.


Jared took emers for a walk while I got olive to sleep and had one on one time with Ira..,
How sweet is this?


He was fully asleep and holding on to his shirt.
