I am a new fan of staycations. I think I may never vacation again. (unless there is a warm tropical beach involved) It is so nice to be able to spend all day sight seeing and doing touristy type things with your family and then coming home and everyone gets to sleep in their own beds.
All I can say is.....AWESOME!!!

Cam and I had talked about going somewhere for our 4 day weekend but decided we had so many things here that we have been wanting to do. I think I would have settled for anything that involved all 5 of us together, life has been so crazy and busy lately we haven't gotten a lot of family time.
FRIDAY:
We attended Mack's school picnic at Canyon Lake Park. Afterwards the boys took some time to do some fishing. Then we decided to go to Reptile Gardens to top off our evening. One of my kids absolute favorite places.

SATURDAY:
a yummy all you can eat pancake breakfast at Fort Hayes (where part of the set from Dances with Wolves is) followed by a trip to Keystone for the Alpine slide and a drive along Iron Mountain Highway and Needles Highway and stopping at Sylvan Lake for you guessed it more FISHING... and a stop for dinner in beautiful Hill City.
SUNDAY:
we attended church and then we were invited over to a friends house for a fun filled Barbeque.
MONDAY:
sadly our last day of togetherness but we enjoyed ourselves in Hot Springs at the Mammoth Site looking at the actual sink hole where mammoth fossils have been and are still currently being found...then we headed over to Evans Plunge a natural 87 degree mineral spring pool with 3 different waterslides that entertained all 4 of my boys for hours. The kind of weekend Moms truly enjoy!

We did the same thing by staying in the "area" for our Memorial Day break. It was really wonderful and I am with you nothing better then your own bed. You guys have some really cool sites to see there. It looks like a fun place.
