We drove thru Bear Country:
We saw lots of bears. They would even come up to the front of our car and eat the bugs off of it.
We went to a program at Mt. Rushmore that told of the history of Rushmore and the background of the four presidents that are carved in the mountain. Then they lit it up at night. The kids really enjoyed it.
Before we stopped in the Black Hills we stayed in Yellowstone. We had a great time and saw lots of "cool" things. We saw bison, water falls, a bald eagle and we saw Old Faithful erupt:
Our summer trip out west was a great time. Now we are in the midst of back to school events. The calendar is quickly filling up and the summer days are beginning to fade into the distance!
