We have been to Mt. Rushmore multiple times, and it never ceases to amaze. This year we decided to attend one of the nightly Lighting Ceremonies. I had only been a couple times at night and we really wanted Caleb to get to see it. It is a very patriotic event and tells the story behind each President represented. If you do ever get to visit Mt. Rushmore the Lighting Ceremony is truly worth it.

Well all family vacations have a few glitches. Unfortunately we didn't sit where he wanted to sit. Still a cutie even with a "poo face"!
Almost added one more President :)
At the close of the ceremony, they ask all Veteran and Active Duty Military to come down and be honored for their service. Brydon still isn't quite to used to this stuff but we make him do it anyways. It was amazing how many veterans were there. They then let them stand at attention as the colors are retreated. It was a very proud moment. We sure are proud of our soldier!
Mt. Rushmore is beautiful day or night and is a sight worth seeing!
I've always wanted to go to Mt Rushmore. It looks so beautiful. I think it is awesome that Brydon was recognized for his service!
