Over Memorial Day weekend we took a tiny, spontaneous trip to the Black Hills, and despite the gnarley weather - we had a blast. We went to Bear Country (at which, Noah yelled Ketty at every bear he saw), Old McDonald's Petting Farm (where Noah got head butted by a sheep), Mt. Rushmore (where Bri got to show off her impressive history knowledge), swimming at the hotel, Fort Hays, and on the way back we went Devil's tower, and hiked most of the way around, with Noah on our shoulders!

We are going to go back this summer, so we can do a lot of the outdoor things we couldn't do because of the weather (1880 train, Reptile Garden, The giant Maze, the Giant Mt. Rushmore Slide, etc.) But here are some pictures from our wonderful mini-vacation.

And on the vacation note - we have decided instead of Vegas - to go on a 3 night cruise to the Bahamas!!! My wonderful mom has graciously offered to watch the chitlens, so we are going to leave a day early, stay the night in Miami then head off! Super exciting new of the week. (As long as I just survive 2 weeks and 2 more days of Methods classes)!
