We drove to South Dakota to see Mount Rushmore
Curtis and the family is very Patriotic and
it just seemed we needed to go see this monument.
It was soo worth it and the kids really thought it was amazing.
This is the view from the back
which is cool to see Washington sticking so far off the mountain.
This is entering the Monument.
It doesn't seem as big up close.
Until you drive far away and you can still see it.
Then you grasp how huge it is.
We took the walking audio tour.
The kids loved hearing the stories of how it was built
and why those 4 were chosen.
We stayed for the lighting ceremony.
and why those 4 were chosen.
We stayed for the lighting ceremony.It was so amazing.
They did a full military lowering of the flag.
They had all the veterans come down on the stage.
We watched a video talking about why we fight for freedom.
It was one of the most Amazing things we have ever been too.
Then they lit up Mt Rushmore!
I wish I could have gotten a better picture of it lit up.
It is pretty COOL!
