Black Hills

Okay folks, so this will take you back to June 2008. Our family went on vacation with Bill's parents to the Black Hills in South Dakota. We also visited the Badlands too. We had an excellent time, loved our campground, and enjoyed all the sites we saw. Other than a problem with the motorhome, everything went smoothly. But you know, when do we ever vacation and not have a problem with the motorhome??? :) Last year it was the tire blowout, this year the transmission.


On the way out we stopped at the Laura Ingalls Wilder Homestead and the kids got to make rope the old fashioned way. They also got to make corncob dolls (even Alex) and grind flour in the mill.


We rode a wagon to the school house and the girls had to put on bonnets and aprons and attend "school". They sang songs and did warm up exercises. When school was finished they had to ring the bell.


This is the whole group at the Badlands. It was very impressive. You could see for miles in many directions.
