T jay said that this was his favorite thing from the whole entire trip! They had a great time jumping!
The campground also had a playground, a splash park, a pool, horse back riding and recumbent bikes! There was so much to do that we could have spent three days there with out leaving.
They looked forward to S'mores all week! They were yummy!!
A real live Tee Pee
Crazy Horse Memorial is in the background.
In the front is a completed model that is 1/34 the size of the future one. The face is all that is completed on the mountain. Construction began in 1948. The face was unveiled at the 50 year anniversary.
Crazy horse said," My lands are where my dead lie buried." He is pointing to the Black Hills.
Plans for finishing. The original sculptor, Korczak Ziolkowski knew he wouldn't live to see the project completed, so he and his wife made 3 books of detailed plans so it could be finished.
Isn't it grand?!!!
Posing
Trying to take a closer look!
Matthew doesn't want to go! He had a strong grip on the railing.
Profile of George Washington. We got T Jay a shirt from Mt Rushmore that he wore to school today. He said, " I can't wait to see my teacher's face when she sees this!" referring to his shirt!
Summer helping take the tent down. 
We didn't get back from the musical until about 11:30 pm. T Jay did not want to get up. Summer and Matthew had no trouble getting up at 6:30! Here, we are packing up the tent around T Jay.
Jess trying to get things put away so we could go sight seeing.
Matthew contained in the play pen.
I read a series of historical fiction books by Lorraine Snelling (Ruby, Pearl and Opal) that were staged where Medora was founded by the Marquis De Mores. In the story, this mansion was being built. It was really fun to see all of the places and things mentioned in the books
This is the mansion, now referred to as the Chateau De Mores
This is the kitchen inside! One of my favorite things is to see things set up as they would have been in the past. I love museums and such for that reason. I am completely intrigued by the things that were used and how. I was surprised how simple everything is, even for a family that was so lavish in the late 1800's! I could definitely learn a lesson in simplifying...now how to implement it!!!
T Jay being silly in the hunting room. The house was built as a summer home/hunting "cabin." They had a bunch of things on a table for the kids to see.
This was their extremely modern bathroom! The white box is similar to an earth toilet you would find out in the woods. That big round thing is the tub! Hmmm... I am glad that I don't have to haul my bath water!!
