Mt. Rushmore...last

Nate & Johnathan in the little cave to get an interesting view.

This is what the "plan" was. It actually included their upper bodies for the most part...but that was never finished. Abraham Lincoln still doesn't even have his left ear!

Neat profile shot of George Washington. Place you can stop along the road.

Reptile Gardens

This was the biggest Alligator we've ever seen in person. He was indoors in his own exhibit.

Dad & Teresa's trip to Colorado

My Dad and stepmom Teresa came to colorado to visit us from Sept 12th-16th. We had such a great time touring around! The first night, we went to Casa Bonita for dinner, which has high divers and a marachi band and games for kids like a pinata. It was fun.
Then the second night, we stayed in Blackhawk, CO. Teresa taught me a little bit about how to play slots and I won $47! We stayed at Ameristar and swam in the pool. Then the 3rd night, we stayed at Estes Park, CO. Got a cute little cabin there and had fun tourist shopping.



At Casa Bonita

Grandpa reading stories to Johnathan at bedtime. How precious.
