Aggies Homecoming Parade

Mckaylee takes dance lessons at LaShar's and absolutely loves it. She has made a lot of new friends. This is Anna who lives down the street from us that she takes lessons with.

Parade Happy!! She loved every minute of it.

Here is all the grandchildren together at Bear Country. Two of little cousins weren't there but we missed them a lote.

This is a rare Albino Buffalo.

Can you say "Minature Donkey's Everywhere"!

"Jaba the Bear"

This picture shows you how close we were to the bears!!

Bear Country

This is one of the 40-50 bears that we saw. He just sat and stared at all of the cars as everybody drove by.
Mountain goats are all over in South Dakota, we saw them in Mt. Rushmore also.
This is one of the many wolfs that ran past our car. Shawn happen to have his window half way down when this wolf came high tailin' past our car. It scared him really good.

These two bull Elk fought for a good 10 minutes. They were about 20 yards from our car.

Crazy Horse Monument

This is at the "Crazy Horse Monument." We are standing in front of the original sculpture that the artist had made as the replica. If you look very hard you can see the Crazy Horse carved in the mountain behind us. It was really a good learning experience for all of us. The mountain is all granite and the kids were able to take home a rock from the mountain. They are in our flower bed in the front yard.

It was a beautiful day. We were able to just wear our jackets instead of our heavy coats. This was a neat place for the kids. They learned about the Native Americans. We were able to see hand made jewelery, jackets, arrowheads, and original bow and arrows that were donated to the museum.

Pickett's in Rushmore!!

We managed to fit all 19 of us in one picture!! This was taken at the bottom of Mt Rushmore. It was cool that day only in the low 50's

Tony's Grove

What a beautiful fall day. We decided to do a little Geo-caching between sessions on Conference weekend. Tony's Grove up Logan Canyon was absolutely beautiful. Fall colors everywhere. We absolutely love doing this as a family!

Finally got it!!

I have finally got this under control. Today, about 2 hours ago, we just arrived home from a 2,000 mile round trip with the Pickett family to Rapid City, South Dakota. It was an absolute riot. Pictures will be posted soon!
