We just returned from spending a week with our good friends, Mark and Robyn and their new son Caleb in Rapid City, S.D.. This was the first time that Ben had been to the mid-west and D.D. so we got the chance to show him the sights as well as just enjoy hanging out with friends, playing with the baby and relaxing.
Some of the highlights from our week include: a visit to Mount Rushmore, seeing the Crazy Horse Memorial (this might be done in another 50 years since not much progress has been made since the last time I was there over 10 years ago), a drive through the badlands where Ben got to see the Buffalo and Mountain Goats in action and playing with Caleb. You can view the rest of the pictures on our flicker site.
While we were there Mark, who is in the Air force and flies on the B-1 was able to secure a busy taxi for Ben which he truly enjoyed since he got to sit in the plane and watch the guys get ready for their flight.
The last highlight of the trip came the morning that we left when Mark and Ben decided to break out the potato gun that Mark built. They had fun shooting potatoes though the dogs didn't enjoy the noise and ended up hiding while the boys played.
