Fishing
This isn't the same day, I thought I would include it in this post. Yes, that is the whopper Mark caught. Wow! That would feed almost one person. At least he tries! ;)

A bad day
Today was a bad day. The boys were so awful! All they did was fight and hit and argue all day. And then they would bring in the daycare kids too. I did a lot of yelling at them today. I wished I wouldn't have, I totally would change that if I could. I really hope tomorrow is way better and that the boys aren't so crabby. They shouldn't be, they went to bed at 8:30 tonight. Hopefully they will be happier tomorrow.

Prayer requests please
I don't know how many people read my blog, but I have 3 prayer requests. My sister is having gall bladder sugery soon, she is uncomfortable now, pray that she gets the surgery sooner than later. My sweet Alyssah is sick, she is miserable, and pray that the meds she is on works quick. And my mother in law, she fractured her foot, pray that she isn't in much pain. Thanks!!

Poor Alyssah
She is sick. I feel so bad for her. She has tonsilitis. She hasn't had any appetite lately and she has been running a fever (low grade) for a few days now. I have held her all day pretty much and she isn't eating again. Mark is bringing the meds home tonight, but I have a feeling she will be going to bed before she can get it. Poor thing. I feel so bad for her.

A Mothers Prayer
Help me dear Lord, as a mother, I pray
And bless these hands folded in prayer today;
May they be ever strong as they guide, as they teach,
Beings never too far for a child to reach.
May they never, with selfishness, try to dissuade,
Nor too quickly punish, nor too slowly aid.
May they point out the pleasures in laughter and song,
And may they show, wisely, the right from the wrong,
So that one day I'll know that I've helped all I can
To make her a woman, to make him a man

Pictures from our trip (very long)
Sweet Alyssah, one of the times she wasn't crabby. She looks so sweet in this picture. Don't let her fool you. She was a little beracuda this trip. She loves her schedules. But she is cute, nonetheless.
Our first glimps of the black hills. We are still about 35 miles away. They are so awesome. Being from North Dakota, were everything is flater, these are huge to us!!
This is Devils Tower. It is a huge rock that people have said came up like a volcano long ago. It is considered sacred to the natives here. They even had a story that a huge bear was clawing it and that is how it got its huge scratches in the rock. We walked around the monument, and it took us about and hour or so. It was 1.3 miles around. We saw some people going to climb it. Jake thought that was cool.
I love this picture of Alyssah and Mark. It is sweet.
The kids posing for me. They were excited to not be in the car anymore!!
The kids with Mark. Alyssah was having a moment. She wouldn't look or even think about smiling at the camera.
Me with the kids. Again Alyssah wouldn't look or smile. I love how far you can see.
The rocks up high on Devils Tower. They broke off a fell sometime ago. I thought it was cool how you could see how they broke.
The tower when we were about to leave. I could stare at it all day.
We went on a train ride from Hill City SD to Keystone SD. It was really cool. They used really old steam engines too. This was one of the steepest inclines for railroads in the US. We saw a lot of scenery that we wouldn't have seen just driving. We sat in cars that were newer, but made to look older. The boys loved it and were so excited to go on a train! Alyssah fell asleep while on the train, she wasn't feeling good again, but the nap helped her feel better. Mark didn't feel good either. Not sure what was wrong with him either.
A "mountain" These are they highest mountains east of the Rocky Mountains. The highest point is 7,000 plus feet.
The train, when we stopped Mark and the boys got out to take some pictures of the train. It is a real steam engine.
You can see the bug splatter on the window. It got really hazy out, there was a small fire somewhere in the hills. We never did find out where.
You can't even see Jakes eyes, but it was so funny anyways!!!
Alyssah even wore a hat too. She was laughing so hard!!
Jake has a hamberger on his head, and Josh has a hotdog on his head. I laughed so hard with these, they were $16 a hat, otherwise I probably would have bought these two. Hahaha!!
Alyssah and Pebbles
I got a few of these pictures of the kids in these stand up things. I had some at the same place, I had to get them too.
The kids got one free ride around in the Flintstones car. They loved it. After we were done with that, the kids played in the park and then and when to the gift shop and bought some things with the money that they earned for the trip.
We were driving to Mr Rushmore. The hills are so pretty and beautiful! I just love them.
Josh spotted the Face on the rock. Mark and I didn't see it for a while, but he kept saying that it was there. We finally saw it.
This is looking up from almost below it. There is a path you can walk below it. It is really cool. I think it is so amazing this sculpture.
My handsome Josh
Sweet Jake
My princess Alyssah
Standing in front of Mt Rushmore. It was chilly and the kids were getting tired. We stayed for the light show too. It was so cool.
At night all lit up.
We drove through the state park on Sunday June 29th. We went through Needles Hyw, and the wildlife animal loop. We didn't get to see to many animals though. Lots of pretty views though.
Needles Highway
One of the many tunnels we went through.
Jake and Alyssah, wearing there new Mt Rushmore t-shirts. Enjoying the ride.
Josh and Alyssah too.
We stopped at a little bridge and cave. The boys were looking for fish, and Alyssah was looking cute!
Touching the water.
On top of a mountain. You could see everything up there!! We were up at about 6,000 feet.
Sleeping beauty. She was really crabby before this, we were very happy when she fell asleep.
We were told the buffalo were out walking somewhere, well this was the only one we saw on the wildlife loop. I was hoping to see a hurd of them.
A donkey or burro. The people were feeding it and there were signs all over asking people to not feed the animals. We saw a bunch more in a field a while later too.
An antalope we saw eating right beside the road. It didn't care that people were there watching it either.
