Family Vacation Part I (June)

We had our family vacation going to Mt Rushmore, Devils tower and Martin's Cove.  I was very excited to go see my family and see places that I have never seen.  We all were very excited! 

One of our rest stops in SD, we had lunch and enjoyed some walking around!


We made it to Custer State Park, it was beautiful!  We loved it!

We were so happy to see our cousins!  Lacey, JoJo, and Sarah


The Needles

Setting up camp!

Enjoying being together!

Eating Dinner late!

The next morning we went exploring, climbing rocks!  We had a blast!

Half the group went up climbing, the others stayed down!

Jonathan was LOVIN' it!  So proud of his medal from his first race!



Jonathan, Sarah and I

Buddies!

Cousins! Sarah, JoJo, JJ, Lacey, Lydia, Luke, Jonathan.

We went on a hike the late morning, it looked beautiful.  At the trail head it did say moderate to strenuous, but I didn't think much off it.  Well, we did; we were VERY tried that night!


That night we went to Mt Rushmore, it was pretty awesome!






Jonathan and Sarah earned a Jr Ranger Badge, and Jonathan just thought that it was really cool!

During this trip is when Dave started calling us a team, go team H.. let go team.  And it has stuck!  it is actually really fun!

The next day we went on a nature walk and played in the Lake!





Jonathan LOVED riding with his cousins around camp!

We drove through needles highway, it is just amazing! took lots of pictures and stops!




Enjoying camp life together.  JJ and Sarah


We saw lots of animal life!
