Black Hills Caverns

Play group took us to a cave this week. The Black hills boasts several caves and apparently a couple are amoung the biggest in the country.  Unfortunately we didn't go to one of those caves.  This one was rather small and no big formations were there.  However the kids had fun and I think the mom's were definetly glad to be done.  Four mom's, eight girls and one boy.  One mom hugely pregnant, two mom's with infants tied to the front, one mom left to chase the rest.  It was a great day.  To bad i can't figure out how to take pictures in the dark.

Flag Football

L. Lex decided he wanted to play flag football.  Daddy is the assistant coach.  Lex says he loves playing, but we are wondering if it was a mistake.  Oh Well.

Dad's first big bow hunt

Lex went on a bow hunt and got a 5 point whitetail.  When we got there he couldn't stop smiling and I don't think his feet have touched the ground yet.

Bismarck Temple

Lex and I went to the Bismarck Temple for a special session and training.  It was a really neat experience, the temple is actually smaller then the stake center that is next to it.  It is really different then the temples in Utah.  We got to stay the night at my friend from high school, Cami's, house.  It was great to see her again.  We only had one mishap on the 10 hours of driving.  We hit a porcupine.

Play Group



We went to the famous dinosaur park in Rapid City, it sits on the top of the hill in the middle of town.  It is so awesome, there are 5 whole dinosaurs and the wind blows like crazy.  We only stayed 15 min, but the girls had fun, and at least its free.



More Labor Day

Labor Day

The first part of Labor day we went to Pactola lake with some friends.  They have a speed boat and a sail boat.

Anna and her friend Abby made up a diaper dance.

After the lake we went to another friends house and went horseback riding and had dutch oven dinner.

Dad's big shot

Dad has been practicing shooting his bow for the big hunt in Wyoming, we all think at 20 yards the deer doesn't have a chance.
