Wind Cave National Park: Scenic Cave Tour

Boxwork at Wind Cave National Park

South Dakota has several guided tours available to the public at various caves. Since we were already exploring Wind Cave National Park I decided to take the kids on tour through Wind Cave. There are several tours available at Wind Cave National Park with various degrees of skill difficulties. Because Peyton is only 6 years old I decided to take ...

New Beauty and the Beast Photos

I remember when Beauty and the Beast came out. I was babysitting, I used to make the kids watch it every time I babysat. I'm not sure who enjoyed it more, me or them.

Though the movie does not come out until March 2017, Disney did just release some new photos from the set. Are you excited? Here's a first glimpse of what Beauty and the ...
