WEATHER WAS BEAUTIFUL, SHARING SOME PHOTOS

BEAUTIFUL DAYS FOR SWIMMING. RAPID CITY, SOUTH DAKOTA WHERE THE WEATHER WAS IN THE 90'S THE WHOLE TIME.


MARCIE NORMALLY IS NOT ALLOWED OUT OF HER SEAT ON THE CONSUL BETWEEN CLOYD AND I BUT IT WAS A LONG RIDE AND SHE NEEDED A LITTLE PETTING. TAYA WAS HAPPY TO DO IT.

THIS WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE PARTS. ABOUT 30 YEARS AGO WHEN WE TOOK THE THREE BOYS TO REPTILE GARDENS, OUR OLDEST TRAVIS HAD HIS PICTURE TAKEN ON THE BACK OF THE TORTOISE. THEY DON'T ALLOW YOU TO SIT ON THEM ANY MORE BECAUSE THEY ARE SO OLD. THIS ONE IS 129 AND THE VERY ONE THAT TRAVIS WHO IS TAYA AND JAYDENS DAD SAT ON. I THOUGHT THAT WAS PRETTY COOL!

BEFORE VACATION, JAYDEN AND MARCIE FOR A BIKE RIDE

JAYDEN WANTED TO WATCH MARCIE EAT PEANUT BUTTER~SHE ENJOYED IT!

YEARS AGO THE BOYS SEEN DEVILS TOWER FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STATE,LOL...WE POINTED IT OUT AS WE DROVE BY. IT WAS LIKE 1/2 INCH TALL. ON THE WAY HOME WE TOOK THE KIDS BY TO SEE IT UP CLOSE.

IT WAS TOO BUSY AT SYLVAIN LAKE BY MT. RUSHMORE TO GET THE BEAUTIFUL PHOTOS, SO WE WENT UP ABOVE AND I THOUGHT A ROCK PHOTO WOULD BE NICE..IT WAS BEAUTIFUL, BUT NOT LIKE THE LAKE BELOW.
