Mount Rushmore!

Day 3-  On the most beautiful day we had seen in months, a quick drive from the Air Force Base took us to the world's best art museum for boys--Mount Rushmore.  One piece of art.  Larger than life.  To get a good look at it you take a hike.  Carved by dynamite and guys suspended in midair using jackhammers.  And...

in the museum this fun activity will have all your kids lining up for more.  Choose the video clip of your favorite part of Mount Rushmore being sculpted.  Press down on the dynamite plunger and BOOM!!!! watch part of the mountain explode away and a shower of granite fall to the earth.  We probably could have stayed there all day.

Bill especially enjoyed the sculpture and it was hard for us to leave for lunch.  Bill and Thomas, Anthony and Maria went back to the mostly empty park that evening to see it illuminated.  

Beautiful.  I hope we make it back some day.
