South Dakota Vacation 2008

there's me picking washingtons nose. haha.
the farm house where grandma roth grew up.
that is quite a crowd there! alot of different personalities! lol.
the four of us in front of that sign in the entrance to mt. rushmore. too bad dennis didn't have any pug shades... ha!
obviously that's mt. rushmore. they had a pic in the museum where a guy looked like just a little spec on washingtons chin... it's huge!
there's the four of us again.
i thought this pic was really good of the badlands.. with the combination of the green and you can see where the water levels were really good.. minus the car window at the bottom lol.
me and kristina at the badlands.. the only thing i dont like is my head looks little and my body looks huge. ha! mom says its the angle lol.
LOL. all i could think about that day is getting out of the van!
gma roth with all the grandkids on 4th of july- minus danielle. it looks like one of those old timey amish pictures or something where the mom or grandma is sitting down you know. lol.

i had such a great time on vacation. as usual it wasn't long enough but i really enjoyed it! i have to say.. it seemed like we were in the car FOREVER! i got so bored at times but it was worth it. i had never had a vacation where you didn't visit family so it was nice to go to mt. rushmore and stuff. i couldn't decide what was my fav! there was stuff i liked about everything. {mt. rushmore, caves, chair lift and slide, reptile gardens} i know one thing i will never wear jeans all day there again! it got hot! i think the count on the pics was give or take around 200 on kristinas camera but i just chose a few lol. that would be a very long post! ha. i am still dissapointed that stupid lady at the black hills took a blue picture of all of us. lol. oh well right. i know one thing.. i will not be having any mcdonalds, fountain drinks, or any fast food for a while! i got burned out. well i could drink fountain drinks everyday.. but they are really bad for you. LOL. i hope all of us can take another vacation together in the next couple years or so. it was really fun and different. i liked swimming too! i never get to unless we go to sd.. which is weird when i think about it.. lol. but ya i can't really think of anything to write about.. oh ya!.... i loved doing fireworks! i didn't get to do them last year cuz we are in city limits but i enjoy doing them so much! and i got to do the grand finale this year which was cool.
