Wild West Adventure




After graduation Tyler and I took a few days off work to see more of the wild west. We saw so many awesome things and had a great time together. We arrived at our hotel late Saturday night and stayed in Keystone SD, right outside Mt. Rushmore. The next day, we saw it for real, and it was amazing.

Here was our first glimpse of Mt. Rushmore 5/8/2009.
We woke up very early and got to Mt. Rushmore around 7 am. There were about 5 people there. It was very peaceful and very spectacular.







The visitor center was amazing and told the history of Mt. Rushmore. We loved this picture of Gutzon Borglum, the sculptor of Mt. Rushmore.
Inside the visitor center. They explained how he used these casts in a studio and then multiplied the measurements to create it them on the Mt.
Ty helping with the sculpting! We also found a few of these friends in the park.
Tyler Gilson, one of our favorite presidents!
