Deadwood

This picture is out of order, thanks to Teag. This was inside the Wonderous Cave just outside of Deadwood.


We ventured up to Deadwood South Dakota for the 4th. We had a blast as we always do up there. Josh's grandparents live on Main Street in Deadwood which makes it so fun. This was our first walk down main street, right past all the Casinos and cute little shops.
The girls and their cousin Mya.

Mandi getting a picture with the twins. She was pretty excited about this picture. Josh looks super muscle man in this picture. He wouldn't like if I called him a meat head, so I wont ;)
The next day we headed to the Wondorous Caves. It was 47 degrees deep down in the cave. A bit of a difference from the 95 degree weather that waited for us outside.

Next we headed to Storybook Island Park where roasted our children like little shish kabobs. We probably took about 70 pictures here. The kids loved it even though they were totally red in the face.

Next on to Reptile Gardens. This is the giant Tortise that by the way, it is NOT ok to sit on. We found out afterward.

We went to Mt. Rushmore, my how its shrunk since the last time we were there. Or maybe my kids are giants ;)
The next day heading to the Roughlock Waterfalls.
At the fall. We were lucky enough to be sans Teag for this outing. He was home taking a nap with Grandma. I told Josh there were numerous places for Teag to jump in the water and it was nice not to have to worry about him.
Ahhh, feels like our engagement pictures or something.
Horsing around

Teag trying to tie his shoe. He was getting very upset that I was trying to help him.
My sweet little cowgirls getting ready to go to the parade.
At the parade. I love all the strange looks on our faces.

We had a fabulous time as always in Deadwood. We braved a couple cemeteries, went swimming, played at the park, hit up a BBQ with some of Josh's parents friends and just had a great time. Josh's Grandma Himmerich stuffed our faces full of delicious food and we enjoyed every bite. Thanks for all the good times Deadwood. We hope to see you again next year!
