Teddy Roosevelt, Oh Yeah, He's the Guy In 'Night at the Museum'


Washington, Jefferson, T. Roosevelt and Lincoln. It was enjoyable teaching the kids a little about American History.







The whole family was quite impressed with the Mount Rushmore National Monument. Marci said that the parking lot, gift shop, etc... had built up quite a bit since she was a teenager, but the sculpture itself was stunning regardless.

Bear Country USA was also impressive. I was expecting a half dozen drugged bears sleeping in dark dens, but was pleasantly surprised by dozens, of lively bears roaming free around your car. We took the advice of the people that run the joint and stayed inside our car for the hour trip. Take Marci's advice and go potty before you enter the facility.
Ella can strike a pose in her ever-colorful outfits. She has enjoyed trying to feed the bunnies around the campsite as well as helping dad cook hotdogs on an open fire.
Sam loved all of the bears, especially Beary-bear. His sister was too scared to join the picture, but she probably would have given one of the real bears a hug. Sam said that Beary-bear was fuzzy. Sam enjoys shooting b-ball with the big kids at our campground.

Wondering what the guy squatting in the family photo in front of the monument is up to! Ha!

Haha, that Night at the Museum comment is the funniest thing I have heard in a while. By the way, so far, everything is going great at the house. I have only been attacked by the kitten about 23 times and Max has managed to run through the screen door only once!
