Grrrrorgeous Shreve

I planned to take the kids to pan for gold after their nap this afternoon but discovered the little touristy stop — on the way to Mount Rushmore but still in town here — was already closed for the season. Darn. We drive by it regularly on our way home and the sign has said "Open," but that apparently refers only to the gift shop. Since I had Shreve in the vehicle with me we went to the dog park instead. This photo of a regal Shreve was actually snapped weeks ago in our backyard. The ones of the children were taken Wednesday afternoon. Here they are fascinated with a manhole cover and hugging at my request.
