Summer Vacation 2008

The Black Hills - South Dakota

Does everyone like our new RIG? Isn't she a beauty?
Ha! Gotcha! Just kidding! This is for all of you who make fun of us because we call packing and hauling our 5th wheel camping. Take a look at this...lace curtains, steps that automatically pop out when the door is opened. These folks were from California. The mom (looked like a grandma) carried around a martini glass all the time, the daughter, carted a black toy poodle like a show piece and daddy walked around in his tank top and shorts cleaning things. UGH! After setting up the camper, we decided to try setting up a new net canopy for the picnic table. Dad gave it to me for Christmas. Oh, my! What a chore! Directions that required a nuclear engineer to read, and many tired, hot helping hands. Every time we stuck one pole in, another would pop out! UGH! Finally we got it done, and are now enjoying it.Nice Girls!
Crazy Horse Mountain 1948- Present and still carving... The "A" Fam at Crazy Horse Visitor CenterA "COOL" view of Mt. Rushmore in the tunnels of Hwy 244
The girls out on a hike... S & S out posing on the hike! The Black Hills are simply beautiful!
Daddy and his "girls"...you know...growing up, when I thought about being surrounded by women all day long...somehow, this just isn't quite what I had in mind...But I love it anyway! Thank you God for a healthy family and for wonderful children!

Holy cow! I thought you were serious about the camper and I almost peed my pants. I CAN NOT imagine how anyone can call that camping!

Sis is totally doing the princess pose in the pictures.

Looks like you had a great time! I loved going to Mt. Rushmore. I even stopped by at Crazy Horse to carve a little. Seriously, that guy has got to be getting a little tired by now. One man and a knife... how else can it take 60 years?!?!
