Devils Tower, Deadwood and Mt. Rushmore

We spent the morning visiting Devils Tower a little closer up :)  I didn't walk all the way around but the boys did.  It is a very interesting place.  Didn't see anyone climbing today though. 

After the tower we headed towards Mt. Rushmore with a stop for lunch in Deadwood.  Mustang Sally's was pretty good and the boys got fabulous looking milkshakes.  We didn't spend very much time there. 

After lunch we headed to Mt. Rushmore.  The boys were coerced into doing the Junior Ranger program again since they are much older than the last time we were here.  The older kid book was way more in-depth.  They had to write something about the monument to earn a badge.  David sat and composed poems with them.

We stayed at a very cool little hotel.  There was a fireplace in the bedroom area!
