Vacation pics (lots)

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

One morning we went for a breakfast ride.


It was a 2 1/2 hour-total-ride, that included about 1/2 hour or so for breakfast and climbing on the rocks.



I've only been on a horse a few times in my life, but I really enjoy rides like this. There was only our group of 5 plus the guide (the bigger group when on ahead) so it was fun. My horse's name was Rat Boy and Terry's was Doolittle. I thought Rat Boy was an unfair name because he was a really nice horse, and never gave me any problems - whew! And let me tell you, breakfast never tasted so good! Talk about breakfast with a view! It was really neat.

Then we went to Mt Rushmore.


Mt Rushmore is really neat, and it's so interesting learning the whole story and all the history behind it all. And after that we drove past Crazy Horse.


Crazy Horse is cool because you can watch its progress since it's still being carved out of the mountain. We didn't have time that day to stop in, so I got this pic as we drove by. It's fun to see how much further along they are on it since a few years ago when we saw it last. The interesting thing about Crazy Horse, and one of the reasons it's taking so long, is that there are absolutely no government funds being used for it. Admissions and private donations are where the money comes from. This also has a very interesting story and history behind it - but I'll leave that to you-all to find out on your own by visiting. It's definitely well worth it.
