Saturday: Things are Looking up, or are They?

we woke up warm and thankful and headed down to breakfast, our first warm meal in a while. It was buffet style with baccon, eggs, sausage gravy biscuits, french toast etc!!
we talked to some people, checked DOT website, no roads open maybe by noon so we looked out the window
went to the lobby to see mt rushmore
saw a huge dino out the window
played cards
and more window watching
we went outside to look at some dino bones in a case
did some rock climbing
and found out that the interstate was not opening a semi had jackknifed and they were turning cars around so we had about 45 min to decided if we were going to keep our room (because people were calling from all over for rooms) or go else where, well we needed to get home on sunday so this would be our only day to go sight seeing
we found some roads open up to hot springs so checked out and headed up there.

my little traveler ready to go!
there was hardly any snow once we got about 8 miles down the road!!
we pulled into town about an hour later around 2pm drove through town to see the sights ate a late lunch then went to check out the water fall
the hot spring running through town 
and a natural spring known for helping your digestive tract
we all took some drinks
and climbed a "mountain" 
on the drive there Chasen said all I want to do is climb a mountain
then we went to the mammoth museum 
and to Evans plunge a natural hot spring that they built this building over the water is new every hour! 
chasen the fish 
mom doing the swinging rope ring
we were the only ones there so Chasen got to go down the slides I dont think he would have got to go down had it been busy but no one said anything!
Lily did the ring
and i did the ring
then we found a hotel checked in
ordered pizza and were off to bed!
