The fun continues...

We got up early in Rapid City South Dakota and went back to Jewel Caves. We arrived 5 min. earlier than scheduled. We felt really good about that. We had a great time at the caves. We down in the ground at least 350 feet. The children really enjoyed it. Geremy had a hard time not going to the bathroom while in the cave. He started dancing about 1/2 way thru and the guide gave Aaron a bag about 3/4 way thru to have Geremy go in. Poor Aaron had to carry it out. Geremy wore a diaper the rest of the day.
AJ told me I have to blog about the bathrooms there. When we would flush it made a sound that was loud and sounded like it was going to suck you up. It was a grinding explosion kind of sound. It's hard to describe. All of us were talking about it when we came out. Mattina Ann was laughing because it scared me out of the stall and Aaron was laughing because it scared Tanner out of the stall and Tanner wasn't even "dressed" yet. You can see why AJ wanted me to blog this.
After the cave we went to Mt. Rushmore. We had a wonderful time there as well. Geremy kept wanting to get closer. He was happy with how close we got. Aaron got a picture of some of the rocks that had been blasted away.
Aaron's mom told us to stop at "Wall Drug". We saw signs for this in Wyoming but hadn't seen them since. We figured we missed it in our hurry to get to the Caves yesterday. When we left the Black Hills National Forest we started to see more signs for Wall Drug. We stopped and spent 1 1/2 hours there. It wasn't our thing when we first got there, then we found a place to take pictures etc. There was a really big dinosour that "fed" every 12 min. When it started to eat Geremy took off. He was so scared. Tanner took off too but was still interested in seeing it. Geremy wanted nothing to do with it. Even when the dinosaur was done Geremy clung to Aaron.
We went into a store and I was helping Mattina Ann look at a horse shirt she wanted when AJ and Aaron threw BIG Snakes at me. I freaked out. They got a good laugh out of it. We crossed the Missouri River. We couldn't believe how big it was. We can't wait to see the Mississippi.
We tried to return our redbox movies and couldn't find anywhere. That was frustrating. When we finally found a place, Aaron and I were frustrated with each other. We must have been tired and hungry. We went to the Corn Palace, but were too late. It closed about 20 min before we got there. I took some pictures of the outside. It was cool to see how they made pictures and the building with corn.
We finally made it to our hotel at 11 pm. We got dinner and went to bed.
What a long night. It took me a long time to get the video to work so I went to bed at 1:30 and still didn't have anything posted. Then Tanner woke up all night long. He has a fever. Of course I don't have any medicine that he'll take. We gave him a bath this morning and he seems to be feeling a bit better.
We woke up to a LOT of rain. Our plans to go to Sioux Falls might be quick. We'll have a great day though. Hopefully the pictures will continue to go on and this will get easier and easier to put together.
