Rapid City

We've made two trips now since living in NE, and we LOVE it!  What a COOL city!!!

Grandpa has met and come with us both times - so fun!

We HAVE to visit Reptile Gardens.  This time I was TOTALLY exhausted.  In the thick of things not going well with Reed sleeping, so I sent the kids with Dad and Grandpa and took a nap at the hotel!  It was wonderful!  And Grandpa took pics so I could see what all I missed!



















 Then once I was rested, I joined them!




We surprised Grandpa for his birthday with a trip on the 1880 train.  So fun!





C loves trains, but HATES loud noises.  On the return trip, the last car (which is what we started in) became the first car, so the whistle was right by us.  She hated this, and so I plugged her ears on the trip back and thankfully she finally fell asleep.

We also visited Crazy Horse.  I thought C may be bored - she LOVED it!  She is very interested in Native Americans.





She loved seeing Indians in traditional dress - and watched them dance!








Okay, out of order, but you get the tour again.  Above were Grandpa's pics.  Here are mine:

I'll throw wood chips on you...

... and you throw them on me!

Hey, I want in on the action!






















Train...











She is always eating...

Denver

We had to make a trip to Denver to try and tease apart why little guy wasn't sleeping.  So of course while there we had to squeeze in some fun!  Children's Museum, here we come!


Charley's fave part - the fire truck/station.












Love that face!


He must be on to something - I better try it too...
 Reed's fave part - the mirrors.
