Parent Free - Day 3!

Grandma and Grandpa have a little boy sized rocking chair in their living room. Spencer watched his big brother use it and decided that he would fit into it quite nicely too. He took baby steps while he got comfortable with the whole idea. First came kneeling on it.......

....then standing on it.........

.....and finally, the sit. The look of accomplishment on his face would have made you think he has been rocking in chairs like this for-EVER!

Mommy and Daddy's Black Hills Vacation Blog: Our agenda for today included a daytime visit to Mt Rushmore, a stop in Keystone and visits with Mommy's cousins who live in the area. This was Daddy's 3rd visit to the monument but his first since some new additions (such as a hiking path closer to the faces where this picture was taken) have been in place. Mommy spent one of her college summers working here but again, many of the new features were not here a hundred years ago when she was a summer employee. If you have never seen Mt Rushmore in person or if it's been a while since you have been there, do yourself a favor and go. You won't be disappointed!
