Back home

We're all back home and as of today all back to work. The girls are getting up earlier after 2 weeks of staying in bed as long as they wanted and Ilm back to church. After Colorado Springs we spent a day with my Dad's oldest sister in the Nebraska panhandle.

Our last 2 free days were in Hot Springs South, Dakota. We were coming back to the hotel after the lighting ceremony at Mount Rushmore when we saw a buffalo on the highway in Cave of the winds National Park. As we slowed to go passed one buffalo we saw two others silouetted by the moon on a ridge 40 feet to our east. I sure wish I'd had the presence of mind to slow down and get a great picture.

We were were at Rushmore and my grandson loved it. It is inspiring. Of course, the Reptile Gardens were also a hit with the seven year old.

My father in law has gone back to Alaska (too hot in S. Carolina) and he is having a great time fishing for sockeye and silver salmon. Sounds like he will be bringing home a bunch in a few more weeks. Can't wait!
