On our last day in South Dakota, we got to spend time in the small town of Keystone, we could walk to the main street from our hotel. On our walk, we passed by these cute yellow-bellied marmots.
I love when the Burton boys get excited about animal sightings.
The main drag in Keystone looks like an adorable, old fashioned western town.
The Madisons and I got some pizza for lunch and ate it out on the patio which made for such a fun, relaxing meal.
Oh South Dakota, you're so weird, but in the best way
Keystone is known for it's old fashioned fudge, so of course we had to try some!
Then we went back to the hotel to pack up and get ready to fly out the next day.
Throughout the trip I had been collecting kinds huckleberry treats, I was excited to have so many sweets to enjoy on the plane.
That night we had our last meal of the trip on the balcony of the restaurant of our hotel, we were surround by green hills and could even see a little bit of Mount Rushmore in the distance, it was such a fun meal.
We ordered s'more nachos for dessert and they were goooood.
During dinner, we surprised mom and dad with a little gift we had all been working on last couple of days. All of us either wrote them a little note, or drew them a picture of some of our favorite memories from the trip. It was so sweet watching them read through the book and hear what everyone loved.
Bethy did quite a few beautiful watercolors of some of the animals we saw throughout the week.
James' drawing of the family sitting in the stadium at the rodeo, was one of my favorite entries.
This trip was so much fun, and we made so many wonderful memories. Even a year later we are still talking about all the fun we had on this trip. Our family has such a great time when we are together, we are all so grateful we got the opportunity to be all together touring through this gorgeous part of our country.
