Rapid City trip- Summer 2025.

The girls and I, and my mom, headed to Rapid City, SD to visit my grandma (and other family there too!). We had a fun few days and glad we could go! Kley had to stay back to work. On the way there, we stopped at Badlands National Park. The girls and I had never been to a national park before, and Norah had been asking to go because she had her free pass from 4th grade (4th graders do a big national parks unit and can get in free for their 4th grade year to any national park!), so we drove through on the way and our van got in for free from her pass. It was such a fun experience! It was so very hot that day so we didn't do any of the trails, but we drove through and stopped at a few of the looking points. God's creation is amazing!




Wild how it looked striped!


What a special outing!








Touching it- they said it felt hard but crumbly.


Fun for the girls to see Gigi again (what the great grands call my grandma). She's so special to us!


Dinosaur Park. Another fun place to stop, and so special because I remember visiting it when I was young and we would visit my grandparents.



I will always love this view and so glad to share it with my girls!






Pottery painting fun.


Out for ice cream with my grandma, cousin Rachel, and her daughter Taylor.


Swimming morning with Taylor. 


Bowling afternoon.


Their Pizza Ranch has a super fun arcade! One of the greatest childhood feelings in the world has to be standing at the ticket counter deciding what prize you want to get for your tickets. The best!


Thankful for a fun, mostly smooth trip and the girls did really well! Glad we could see family (my aunt/uncle and my three cousins and their families live there too) and my grandma!
