This weekend we decided to rest from our camping while Ryan puts in a 48 hour shift. I do have some pictures from last week that I can post here for your enjoyment. Here is a picture of Jane being unusually happy during tummy-time. I guess that she doesn’t really look happy per se, but along the tummy-time continuum, this is definitely towards the happy end.
Helen and I loved eating watermelon at the free BBQ on the last day of the Dawes County Fair. We probably could have eaten our weight in watermelon.
From this tranquil picture of our campsite in Wind Cave National Park, you would never guess how challenging it was to put up the tent. Ominous clouds were rolling in when we arrived the night before. Helen and I ran to the bathroom while Ryan started putting up the tent – he wasn’t going to let a couple raindrops slow him down. All of a sudden the heavens opened. Helen and I were impressed by the sheeting rain and hail from the safety of the bathroom. Ryan quickly converted the ground cloth into a giant poncho and was able to get the tent up after the worst of the storm had worked itself out. We were nice and snug in our tent once all the puddles were mopped up.
We went on a hike above Wind Cave and were able to successful identify the plentiful poison ivy along the trail.
After lunch we went to Storybook Island in Rapid City. We were all a little overwhelmed by all the fun things to climb on. The best part was that it was free. Ryan couldn’t resist letting Helen ride in the little on the train ride. Helen’s become an ace train spotter with the hundreds of trains we’ve seen during our drives out here.
