Holy Vacation Part 2

As we were driving on the Freeway we saw this giant goose thing. It was the Enchanted Highway. This Farmer has used scrap metal to build these gigantic animal statues. They were really cool to see. The boys enjoyed stopping and checking everything out.

When Logan saw the 'SHISH', Dave couldn't drive fast enough. We had to catch him to get back into the car.

The cowboy one was really awesome. The boys played in the stage coach. Behind them was a giant cowboy. We took a few pics before we realized the place was SWARMING with leaf cutter bees. I ran the boys to the car, but not before they got Sam. His legs were COVERED in bits. Poor kid! When Sam gets bit by anything he swells like crazy, so within a few miles he was all swollen and complaining they hurt. That was the last one we stopped at. They were cool to see though.

We made it to Grandma and Gramps by late afternoon. My favorite part of being there is sitting on the front porch and watching the cars on the highway. Its right there! I am always nervous about going with kids, but we only had a 2 runaways! Logan just wanted to sweep the road. The boys are waiting for Grandma Linda. I love how Sam is such a big boy. He sits with his legs crossed in his car seat too. And Logan has to be just like him.

Logan is very shy when seeing new people. Gramps got to Logan early with some food. Now they are best friends!

Logan found this truck and played with it ALL the time. He loaded rocks and hauled them around. He wanted to ride in it but couldn't figure out how to sit in it and make it go so he settled for the rocks.

Gramps has a couple horses. Hailey and P.O.S. (really), Sam named her Spot. He thought they would like some flowers so he pick wild sunflowers for them. But not the whole thing just the pedals.

Aren't my boys SO cute. I love the Dave has his arm on Logan's leg and Logan has his arm around Dave. Logan LOVES Hailey. He yelled out the window ' NAYNEE'. That's all he wanted to do the whole 2 weeks was see Hailey.

After we had been there a week, we decided to take the boys so Rapid to a cool park and on the way we wanted to drive through and check out Strugis. We so every year, but BIKE WEEK was going so we went. It was SO FOGGY! Sturgis is a pretty small town. The main street through town is maybe 4 miles. I took our over a hour to drive through. It was nuts! There were bikers everywhere. We went to the Buffalo Chip. (above) Its so big but we couldn't see how far back it went. It is set out of town about a mile and there is only a small 2 lane road that gets you there. We went down that road! MISTAKE!! We sat in a line forever trying to get there; then when we realized what we had done we had to wait in the line to get out. Poor boys, they were so sick of the car.

There were bars everywhere! After a hour on that road we needed one!!

Full Throttle Saloon

There were shops everywhere! Just in tents and trucks. After a lunch FIASCO, we made it to STORYBOOK ISLAND. Its a free park with all of the classic storybooks represented. It was AWESOME!! We were there for several hours. The entrance was a castle and a mote. Off to the side was the ogre and the 3 goats that tried to pass.

Sam was so excited to help so Humpty Dumpty didn't fall

Old school Fire truck. Logan barked and barked at the dog. It took us a few minutes before he would get close enough to touch him. I don't think he got the dog was fake.

'NAYNEE'

The only thing you paid for in the whole thing was a train ride. They loved it. They had the thing to themselves, Sam kept telling Logan to drive and turn. What a good big brother. Dave walked beside the train; I was worried Logan would be done and get out in the middle of the ride.

YOGI and BOO BOO!

THAT FACE!!!! It about sums up the day. Logan fell in a mud lake so is all nasty. But how cute is he! I asked him who that was and that was his reply. I love it!
