Black Hills Trip

We are headed back to Helena after a great trip to the Black Hills of South Dakota. We drove from Billings on Saturday with Val, Steve, Jen, Craig, Jan and all the kids. We met the Graff side of the family at the campsite and had great weather for 5 days. We mostly spent our time relaxing, eating (of course), playing cards/dice/games and just hanging out. We also got a short hike and picnic in and a trip to (does driving past count?) Mount Rushmore. It was really nice to see everyone. Here are some pictures:
The whole crew dressed to impress for our red white and blue themed dinner. Yes, we really are related to all of those people.

Reese (not surprisingly) loves to backpack. Daddy, however, really got a workout with 30 extra pounds on his back!
