Spring Break
Call me crazy, but I took my 4 kids to South Dakota for spring break. I have always wanted to see Mount Rushmore so we went on a road trip. It is only about 7 hours from Denver. The kids were so excited to go. It is a pretty amazing thing to see. 
We had nice weather, but it was windy as you can see in the picture. Van was being a little grumpy and didn't want to look at the camera. He said he was scared of the man taking the picture for us.
Sawyer was excited to get out of her car seat. We at lunch in the car waiting for our tour time for the cave.
Next we went to Jewel Cave National Monument. The pictures didn't come out very well with my little camera, but that is where we are in the picture below.
The next day we went to see Badlands National Park.
Again Van was grumpy and didn't look at the camera.

The town of Wall, South Dakota was close the the Badlands. On our drive, we saw a lot of signs for this Wall Drug Store so we decided to check it out. We spent a couple of hours there just checking everything out. They make their own donuts and ice cream, so of course we had to try them. They were delicious.
This is the pool at the hotel we stayed at in Rapid City. We went swimming everynight. Since we got home, Van keeps saying he wants to go back to the "little house". That is what he called the hotel room.
This is funny. On our drive home, we stopped at a gas station somewhere in Wyoming. The boys used the bathroom, then they waited in the hallway while I took Van and Sawyer in the ladies room. When I was in the ladies room, there was a girl who looked a lot like a boy. She left the bathroom and Rusty said "Why did you go in the girl's bathroom?" and she said "Because I'm a chick." When I came out, they told me that and I told them that she was a girl, not a boy.

It was a fun trip, but I was exhausted when we got home and the boys have mastered the art of armpit farting.

What an exciting trip. Maybe you are crazy but your kids will remember it.
Jannna, you are so brave! I can't believe you took them all on your own! Nice work! It looks like you had a blast!
Awesome! Your kids are lucky to have a great mom. Impressive. You are brave. Your boys and girl are getting so big. Tell them hello from Uncle Josh and Aunt Chiu-yi.
It looks like Mount Rushmore was supposed to be more than just heads at one time.
