Devil's Tower

Muscle Man Carter holding up this giant rock! I love his face!!

Brenden trying to find the ladder on the side of tower. They said they saw it but I couldn't find it for the life of me!


We couldn't believe the massive boulder field at the base! The kids would have loved to climb all over them.




I forgot a post from our South Dakota trip. We ventured over the Devil's Tower on Monday evening after Craig worked. I was the only one that had ever been before so it was an exciting adventure. We timed it perfectly too, it was a hot day and we had just enough time to walk around the tower and see what we needed to see before the sun starting setting. It was a beautiful drive back to our hotel. I tried taking a picture of the sunset, but it didn't turn out. We also had a mishap on the way back....we hit a raccoon. I screamed, Craig rolled his eyes, and the kids just laughed at me. Carter wanted to check the van out as soon as we stopped for signs of the raccoon. (because Dad tried telling them he didn't hit it) Caitlyn assured us she felt it go thunk, thunk and saw it roll down the road. It was fun and a great evening with the family!
