Funny and often Ridiculous Quotes from our Trip:
"Stop Wiggling" - Hubby to the Things at the ice cream parlor
Five minutes later...
"If you don't stop wiggling that cow skulll will fall on you."
Five minutes after that...
"Don't eat the napkin" - Hubby to Thing 2
Five seconds later...
"Oh, you ate the napkin."
"DON'T LICK THE LAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" - me screaming across the beach to Thing 2 (ugh!)
"I'm glad there is a video on so we don't have to look out the BORING window" - Thing 1 to Thing 2 while we drove through the mountains. Kids!
"Woooowwww!!!" - Thing 2's reaction to his first cave.
"Hey, Dad, Thing 1 needs your help!"
"With what?"
"He can't get down!"
"Well, Mommy outfished me again." - Hubby
"Oh know, Double trouble!" - Thing 1
"Hey boys, go sit on that bomb!" - Hubby to The Things
And now for some pics:
We had to stop in at WalDrug of course and have ice cream.
Smores and Hot Chocolate around the campfire, now we're talking!
Hiking around one of the many beautiful lakes (okay, I can't remember the name, but it was a nice little path).
Fishing was great almost every place we tried, it was really fun!
Thing 3 wasn't really into the whole backpack, don't let the smile fool you. Whenever he was on my back he mostly screamed in my ears his dislike of being on my back.
Really great little hike around Pactola Lake, there were great views of the lake, fields of wildflowers and wooded spots as well. The Things made it the whole 3/4 miles, with lots of water breaks of course.
Junior Ranger "hike" at the Wind Caves National Park. The Things didn't care so much what he was saying, just really wanted to go into the cave!
Which we did - I only got one picture because the boys complained it hurt their eyes.
We spent several hours most every day on the beach, the Things alternating betweening digging and fishing with Dad.
Storybook Island was the one sort of touristy thing we did but it was free and the boys loved it. Tons of slides and things to climb on and even a little train to ride. It was fun to run into good friends from Brooking there as well which I think the Things thought was totally normal. Notice the other Things in the background of this Dr. Seuss photo.
Really great hike around Silvan Lake at Custer State Park. It had tunnels, forests and cool rocks all around this one mile hike. I also outfished Hubby here pulling in the only trout of the day, but he reminded me that he put the worm on for me - now that is love!
On the way home we stopped at the Air and space museum.
The Things getting ready to blastoff on the rocket!
This is where hubby said - "Boys, go sit on the bomb!" Really, we do love our kids, I promise!
