eimarraThe day at the cousins' was low-key; it rained, which let out such things as the pool and the zoo. The kids did some crafts. We went to see Ice Age 3 -- in case you didn't know, slapstick is the lowest common denominator of humor. CG, at 19 months, laughed at the appropriate points with Scrat. After dinner we celebrated the older cousins' birthdays -- T-Bug and Ladybug are only 3 days apart in age. Ladybug loved her quilt!
The day after that was 11 hours of driving -- Wisconsin, Minnesota, and almost to the border of South Dakota. (We got off at exit 12.)
Then a day in the Black Hills Forest. We went to the Black Hills Natural History Museum in Hill City and saw a cast of Sue as well as one of Stan, plus an elephant bird and a cool display of minerals. We visited Crazy Horse Memorial, drove through Custer State Park (where we saw 13 prairie dogs, 9 pronghorns, and hundreds of bison, including lots of calves), and Mount Rushmore. We had mediocre Mexican food for dinner at a restaurant in Rapid City and headed back to our hotel.
Yesterday was driving again -- Wyoming and half of Montana. We stopped in Sheridan, Wyoming, for lunch. Ate at Kendrick Park -- very mice park. Gave T-Bug present of writing books.
Today, it's off to Banff. Hope all is well with everyone else. Time to change CG and have some breakfast now.
