Beautiful Black Hills

Over the week of the 4th, we traveled to the Black Hills to spend time with Haune's side of the family.  The 5th of July would have been Dad's 68th birthday, so we took mom on a little road trip for a change of scenery.  We thought about him so much, he had such a great time when we took him and mom out to the Hills in 2008.  We also surprised Haune's family by bringing Haune along as well!  We had a wonderful week, thank you SO MUCH, Mark and Gloria, for EVERYTHING you did for us!!!  We had a great time, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

A 4th of July Parade in Piedmont:

If you're thinking, "Is this guy riding a bull in a parade?"  The answer is YES.  Also, if
you're thinking, "Is this guy drinking a beer while riding a bull in a parade?" the
answer is YES!  (What?!?!?!?!?!)

Sturgis Wrestling float.

"I love Aunt Sonya!"

These guys were also in the parade... shooting blanks.

We took an 1880's train through the Black Hills with Grandma Sue.  (Thanks again for your help, Sonya!)
