Bad Lands are not so bad...

We drove over to go see the Bad Lands today.  Wow.  I have never seen mountains that up close before.  They are absolutly gorgeous!!  We took about an hour hike, and between Jessica freaking out because of the hieghts and christopher complaining about how he wanted to be in the front, we had an amazing time.  We reached the dead-end of the trail and it was a huge drop-off cliff over looking the Bad Lands.  So pretty!! 
Then on our way back.... i was in the frotn leading us all when i almost stepped on a snake.  And not just any old gardner snake, a rattle snake.  I was sooo scared.  Thankfully nobody got bit! Then we stopped in every gift store and vistor center we could find, there is not much to do out here.  So now it's about 3pm and we've got the rest of today to hang out in the RV park.  It's freezing here, so we are all in jeans sweatshirts, hats and gloves, but hopefully mom and dad will let us go on this hour and 1/2 horse trail ride.

Hi Taylor,

Your trip sounds very exciting. I just looked at the pictures your dad downloaded, nice scenery. I'm sure the pictures are'nt showing the real beauty. Hope all is well. Does mom drive? Can't wait to read more.
