I have been talking about camping with the kids for months now. Before we headed on our trip, though I talked about it, camping with the kids...or camping at all, seemed like something "fun" to talk about, but a little nerving to think about. But here we were, head[...]
On this day we headed out of Sioux Falls and made our way through the Black Hills as the morning sun slowly rose. We stopped at the incredible Mt. Rushmore. Mt. Rushmore is one of those places that you see on TV and movies and print, and you suppose it's great[...]
