We couldn't go to Wind Cave NP without checking out the actual Wind Cave itself. We knew going into it, that it was going to be risky with two youngsters, one who it too independent for his own good and cries when things don't go his way and the other who gets very scared in dark places. But we ventured in anyways and overall, Kayla and Colin did pretty well. Here's Kayla exploring with her flashlight.
Colin as predicted, did not want to be picked up at all during the tour and insisted on walking and going down the stairs himself. We stayed towards the back of the group and let Colin lead his own way.
"Here I go Mom!"
After Wind Cave, we started our drive home through Custer State Park. Custer is known for two things: the buffalo round-ups (we missed it by 2 days!!) and their roaming pack of friendly burros.
Unfortunately, Colin slept through the whole thing, and at the time, he was way overdue for a nap, so we didn't wake him up. I still regret that to this day because he would have loved these guys. Looks like we're just going to have to come back. : ) The white one was our favorite so Kayla gave her a carrot.
And of course, the babies!
Also on our way home, we drove through the Badlands. Colin was getting very anxious to get out of the car, and the only thing that cheered him up was me poking the camera above the chair and taking his picture saying "CHEEEEEEESE!"
And one last picture on the second to last day of vacation...our car. Just to show how incredibly filled it is with toys and snacks and drinks and who knows what and yes, Colin is sitting on a towel because his diaper failed. We're very thankful he waited until almost the last day to do that.
