Saturday and Sunday!

Sorry I didn't get a chance to update the blog this weekend, it was kind of crazy! Saturday was SUPER hot, but we still managed to do some things. First we went to this neat little lake, there were baby ducks and a HUGE turtle on a rock. The turtle went into the water before I got a picture. =(
Then we went to this crazy place with all of the cars stuck in the ground. They called it Carhenge! I guess it was some sort of sacred ritual place or something. There is another one somewhere made of rocks, but I don't know why. There were so many motorcyles in the parking lot too! I guess it is something called Sturgis. The bikers like to stop at the car place, must be a biker ritual ceremony or something!
We went to a park and played, but I didn't have time to take pictures, i was too busy having fun!!! Saturday night we went to the Drive-In ~Did you know those still exist? Me Neither~ We saw Wall-E and Indiana Jones. Wall-E was okay, and I slept through part of Indiana Jones. We parked the van, layed down all of the seats and watched the movie that way. It was great! I didn't get a picture because it was too dark, go figure!
On Sunday we drove home. I was pretty exhausted so I slept most of the way. We saw a LOT more bikers, going to Sturgis.
Here are some random pictures that didn't get posted yet!

Two States, One Day!

Sorry this blog is late. it was a late night last night. Today should be pretty tame, but I do think we are going to a Drive-in tonight to see Wall-E.


Today we decided to go to South Dakota. There is this awesome place where they have found 58 mammoth skeletons. They do tours through the sinkhole that they are currently excavating. It was fun!
This was a baby elephant. These things were HUGE! There was no way i was going to get on the big one!
Isn't this waterfall beautiful! It is on the mainstreet in Hot Springs, SD. Apparently it is man made, but it was still neat to see!
this is just a picture of the black hills. It was such a neat view from the top of the Mammoth Site. It was a great trip up there!
Back to nebraska. WOO HOO!!!

We decided to take in some night life in Alliance. it's not overly exciting, but we did play some Keno! And won 10 bucks!We had a few drinks, met some new people and then headed home. 1am in alliance is 2am in lincoln. Boy am I tired!
