Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse

A few weeks ago we went to Mount Rushmore and then Crazy Horse. It was a wet day and we were going to also go to Jewel Cave but chose not to! We only went to MR and CH. Mama wrote a weird blog post too. She was not that impressed about MR but was about CH. I liked Crazy Horse better (SORRY!). It was fun and then we went home and had good pizza and then went for dessert at a really good pie place (almost as good as mission pie!) It was really nice and they had rubarb pie which Lottie had.  Did you know that each face on MR is 60 feet long? Sorry if this is another short blog post!!!!!!!Here are some pictures though!

There it is, The mount Rushmore!

The Badlands

I am so sorry that I have not blogged for a long time but we were very busy! We are now in Chicago "The Windy City". I think San Francisco’s windy too though! Chicago is a really nice city. A few weeks ago we went to The Badlands,South Dakota. It was really really hot (91 f) which basicly put Lottie of speaking! It was a really good day out even though we had to drive for two hours to get there! The rock formations were really really pink and there were lots of layers. We went to the visitor center to watch the " Award winning film" that did not really tell us about the formations. Then we went to do a short fossil walk with fossils and the drove home. It was really fun and there were lots of prarie dogs. On the way back there were lots of signs saying Wall Drug 5 cent coffee and Wall Drug exit 109. They were very entertaining and we saw about 30! Im sorry if I have not written much but I have many blog posts to write! Here are some photos:

Hills over and over and over again!

That hills in the way!

Lots of different rock formations!

Lottie: This is too hot so I will stay like this and not speak!

Wind cave!

I am so sorry that I have not been blogging for a while. About a week ago Lottie,Mama, and I went to a national park called Wind Cave. It was really amazing. We went on a tour of the cave and the original entrance of the cave was a small circle in a rock. The story is said that two brothers were horse riding down the path and one of them heard distinctive noises. He got off the horse and put his head near the hole. His hat blew off. They went off and then came back with lots of people. Again he stuck his head near the hole and this time his hat blew down the hole lost and gone forever. They thought they had found... GOLD!

It turned out that it was a cave. And there was NO gold to be found in it. In the 1900s a 16 year old boy called Alvin McDonald came and lived there. In his back yard there was the entrance to the cave. Of course when you are sixteen and have nothing to do where would you go? INTO THE CAVE! He explored the cave lots and losts. He wanted to tell the whole world about his favourite thing-the cave. He asked his father if he could go to the world fair in Chicago. His father agreed and they went together. At the fair he caught Typhus. He came home still extremely sick and lay in bed wishing and wishing that he could go down to the cave. He did and did that for four days going in and out in and out. That made him catch pneumonia. A few days later he died at the age of 20.

I am so glad that we have the light bulb and you will find out in this paragraph. Down in the cave our tour guide showed us what it was like on a tour with Alvin McDonald. There was a tin can on its side with a candle inside. Then she showed us what it would be like without ANY light. I was 300 feet below the surface and in complete pitch black. I was TERRIFIED! It was basicly the reason that I wanted to get out of there! It was still really really fun! I liked the national park alot but was glad to see the sky again. It was easy to get out because of the elevator!

The Museum of flight

A few weeks ago we went to a museum called The Museum of Flight. Now if you love aeroplanes and you are in Seattle this is the museum for you! It has a ton of stuff about them and you can got in the concord and the presidents aeroplanes. Now I hate flying but flying in the presidents aeroplane with a real bed would be fine! It was really cool and I would reccomend it. First we went to a bit about aeroplanes and space. I do not want to go to space because of the terrible beds and you do not want a tired me or I will do NOTHING. Then we went and learnt about how they used aeroplanes in the wars. It was really interesting and I learned about the signs that are on the edge of the aeroplane. It was interesting and I liked doing it. I love learning. Then we went to the café and had muffins. Then we left. It was a great day and if you are in Seattle I recommend that you go because it is so so cool.

The Three Grizzlys

Today we drove from Gardiner to a small town called Greybull. To get there we drove through Yellowstone National Park for the last time. On the way we saw a huge group of people looking at this animal.  I saw a face that looked like a bear face... and I was right!!! It was a mama grizzly bear and her two cubs. They started to come up the hill and came closer and closer. As the mum got closer she stood on her hind legs. I managed to get a picture which Mama said was great. Then these cars started to drive up close as the Mum crossed the road. People were shouting at them. The cubs were on the other side of the road from the mum. That was when I felt scared. And it was for the cubs and mum. Then the cubs crossed the road and they all started to go up the hill. It was on snow and it was a ton of great pictures. I got some good ones. here are some of the pictures I took (I will not put them all because there are TONS!!!!)
