Memorial Day Weekend Family Fun - Day 2 (Sunday)

On Sunday, we headed up to the North Unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park, ND.


Gotta start a good trip with a picnic lunch. We didn't have to protect our pic-a-nic basket from Yogi Bear, but there was a herd of buffalo a few hundred yards away.


Roadside geology lesson for Grace. Mike pontificating and gesturing wildly, as usual.


Taking a break during a hike along the south rim. Photo by Grace!


Mike explaining Little Missouri River valley geology to Emma. Or maybe I'm pointing out some buffalo down on the valley floor. I forget.


Seriously cute girl named Emma.


BUFFALO POOP!!


Cute ladies at the end of the hike. Grace and Connor are nowhere to been seen, as they've taken the lead down the trail!


Serious cute attitude!!


CCC overlook shelter. The winds were howling!


Grace and I ventured down to the CCC overlook to check out the views. You can gauge the wind speed by looking at her ponytail...

Lots of hiking equals tired kids.
