Home on the Range part II

The next day we woke up to temps in the 30's. Headed to Mt Rushmore. It was raining and the kids were none too pleased to have to get out of the car to look at a rock. George was kind of entertaining since it looked like he was bleeding from a head injury due to the wet rock. Matt was whining because apparently the soles of his shoes were ripped and his feet were getting soaked. Did he bother to tell me he needed new shoes? No, of course not. We left there and explored Custer State Park some more. It was snowing by this point. Drove around and eventually ended up at the Reptile Gardens. Apparently it had won some kind of award. Nice way to spend a cold rainy day. Both kids even agreed that is what they wanted to do. It was ok. After this, headed back to the hotel to chill until we headed out to a diner for dinner. Most of Hill City shuts down after Tourist season. Tough to find places to eat. After dinner the kids went down to the pool and Randy checked messages. After listening to a zillion old messages, we heard that Matt had a message to call Don at Centennial Lanes. OK. Took my phone down to the pool and Matt called Don and got offered a job. He started Tuesday. He works till 11pm tonight and 10-4 on Sunday. He is pretty much their grunt boy. Cleaning up trash, resetting lanes, putting bowling balls away, cleaning out ashtrays,etc. Congratulations Matt. He seems to like it so far.
