On Monday we headed out to see Mount Rushmore. It was stifling hot. It was approximately 37 degrees which if you live in Calgary is disgustingly hot. We all found it hard to enjoy what we were seeing with it being so hot. It had granite flooring or something that made it even hotter!!
Luckily for us, they have a program in the evening where you can watch a brief movie and hear a speech about the history of the monument, the presidents on it and why it was created. It took 14 years to finish and nobody died while it was being carved. Unfortunately the man who's vision it was never lived to see the end result. We went back after supper and were better able to enjoy it.
The lighting of the monument was spectacular and Finley made some new friends. Brendan and Tre were little boys around hte same age as her and invited her back to play with them in Wisconsin. It was pretty cute. Here are some photos from the evening.
