Second Half of the Second Day of Family Vacation

 It isn't a trip to the Black Hills without a trip to Mount Rushmore.

Many other tourists thought the same thing. There was a waiting line to enter the gift shop. The younger E family took the walk below the mountain while the older Es shopped, rested or took photos.

We really had awesome weather our four days; it wasn't too hot and any rain came during sleeping hours. 

The neighboring campers prepared their vehicle for a possible hail storm that night. It is the first time we had seen this hail protector. We saw at least four such inflated protectors on trucks and cars that evening. There was no hail, but a very nice rain. All protectors were deflated and put away the next morning.

The E family adults enjoyed 18 holes of miniature golf in the evening while the youngest enjoyed time in the Gaga Ball Pit. 

The g'kids also enjoyed time in the swimming pool Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons.
