Thursday, June 5 - Mt Rushmore

Lias slept through most of Mt Rushmore.

Lias loved Great-Grandma T.

Playing in the restaurant at Mt Rushmore. It was so cold we sat in the restaurant and drank hot cocoa in JUNE!

Lias playing on a horse in Keystone.

This was the makeshift highchair at the cabins.

Friday, June 6 - Bear Country, Storybook Island

A reindeer in Bear Country. Can imagine trying to sleep with the huge antlers on your head?

Wolves

It was amazing how close we were to these bears!

The bear cubs were adorable!

We went to Storybook Island on Friday morning before leaving to Miles City.

So we're both crazy...

Aunt Nena and Lias

And another Lias-in-the-animal's-mouth shot.

Lias loved the swings.

Wednesday, June 4 - First plane ride!

We left Wednesday to go to South Dakota to visit Aaron's family. This is us at 5 in the morning on the shuttle to the airport.

Lias went through security and passed!

Lias was very interested by everything on the plane.

Our layover in Denver...

Lias talking on the phone.

Such a happy boy to be hanging out with Daddy.

Goodness, that dinosaur is tall!

Wednesday afternoon, we went to Dinosaur Park in Rapid City.

Pointing is Li's new thing. He points at everything. Silly boy.

Monday, June 2 - Getting into the bathtub

Today I was packing for our trip to South Dakota & Montana. Somehow, Lias found his way INTO the bathtub. I never heard a crash and I found him just sitting in the tub, playing with his toys.

Today I caught a frog for Lias to play with. He petted it real nice with one finger until it finally got sick of it and hopped off. I was surprised at how gentle he was with it.

Where did the frog go?
