"Rount Mushmore"


So, day three....what happened?  Well we woke up, got ready and hopped in the van to go see "Rount Mushmore,"  as Charlie would call it.  We drove on what was called "The scenic route"  It was 30 miles long, but it was so curvy that it took us an hour and a half!  It was so beautiful!  The drive was through the mountains, through rock tunnels, and we got to see Mt. Rushmore from a long ways off!  Oh, and we even saw three buffalo, and two little goats in the road that barley let us pass by! 


The buffalo (in case you couldn't tell). =)

When we were done there, went over to see Crazy Horse, the largest statue in the world.









 
So, honestly, I thought that Rount Mushmore was a lot more impressive, but this will be cool when they finish it!


After Crazy Horse, we went back to Custer and when we were driving back to the cabin, we saw eight or nine buffalo along side of the road! We sat there for about ten minutes and watched them, and then this one decided to cross the street! :P 

Then we went on a wildlife drive and saw way more buffalo, pronghorn, pretty scenery, prairie dogs...etc.  Oh! Then we pulled over at this one field and this wild donkey came up to our window and ate cheezits out of our hands! It was SO cool!


All the wildlife in Custer State Park is really tame!

Later that night, we went back to Crazy Horse.  Each night they have a lazor show on the mountain.  It was freezing, so we all piled on one bench, shared the blanket and waited for the show to start.  And of course, I had to get a pic. :P

Shane took this one. Isn't it really cute?!

But I took this one. =)


All in all, it was a great day: I got to see Rount Mushmore, Crazy Horse, some cool wildlife, and got to hang with my family....what could be better? =)
