On the way home

Alex saw a bunny in Casper WY after we stopped for breakfast. He named him Pop, we saw a bunny that looked just like Pop at the Flinstone themed park in South Dakota. Alex thought he followed us there.
The boys checking out Mt. Rushmore. It was really amazing, I highly recommend taking a trip to see it. We drove past Crazy Horse, but didn't stop to take pictures because we thought that we'd come back that way when we left Mt. Rushmore, not so. At least we saw it, it was pretty cool even if it wasn't finished yet.
This is a little out of order. We stopped at the Flinstones themed park at lunch and before we got the Mt. Rushmore. The boys haven't seen the show before, but got a real kick out of all the stuff.
Matt & I at Wall Drugs in South Dakota. It's an old west themed restaurant/store with dinosaurs. We saw tons of signs for it on I-90, "5 cent coffee", "free ice water", and other weird random statements with no exit number. It got to Dennis, so when he finally saw the exit we got off for dinner. The boys would have had a better time if they hadn't been so sleepy.
When Matt slept we gave Alex his iPod and let him listen to music. Yes, it's the boys iPod. We got Dennis one for Christmas a couple of years ago, which he gave to me when he bought a new one for a graduation present in April and then just before we left he won a new one from a pod cast that he listens to. So, he kept his graduation iPod, I got the new one and Alex & Matt got the old one. It worked out really well, it kept Alex quiet while Matt slept and Dennis and I could listen to our own music.

Once again Shutterfly's 250 picture limit has required that I break the pictures up into two links.

Here is the link for the misc. pictures on the way home, a cool red rock pyramid in the mountains in Wyoming (that didn't turn out so well), some mountains in South Dakota, Alex's shoes (because it made him happy to have their pictures taken), Wall Drugs...
