This past weekend my wife, my two daughters, and a third "daughter" took a quick trip up to Rapid City, South Dakota for the high school graduation of a wonderful young lady. We have been family friends with her family for many years now and we have spent many an hour in prayer for them as the United States Air Force has taken them from Colorado Springs to Oklahoma to Alaska and now to South Dakota; and in the midst of that has deployed the father to Afghanistan and now to Iraq.
We went up to S.D. to celebrate a wonderful accomplishment, but we also were able to make it a mini-vacation. We visited Mount Rushmore and even Sylvan lake, which were both shown in the movie National Treasure II (with a little bit of digital magic thrown in).
We had a blast and daughter number 3 kept us all laughing for the better part of the trip.
We also visited a cool little tourist trap called Bear Country which has an assortment of wildlife from the western U.S., but especially a lot of... you guessed it... bears. Everywhere it seemed, were bears. There were bears sleeping, walking, bathing, and even um, procreating, which was an interesting experience for all.
There were even baby bears.
So I hope you enjoy my short update about our recent adventures. Maybe in a day or two I can add a little more.
God Bless!
