It's funny that we were to Mt. Rushmore often enough the first few years to have favorite parts of the informative movie or the lighting ceremony presentation but now, after living here a six years, we hadn't been there since Lydia was born. 
After a busy Saturday we were talking to the kid about what to do on Sunday and they requested visiting Mt. Rushmore. It was a bit disappointing at first that there would be no Aunt Kristi and Uncle Matthew or fireworks (which there were the last time we were near Mt. Rushmore) but once there they quickly recovered. There were only about 10 cars in the parking lot so we had a lot of room for them to run around and explore. Lydia proved she can climb the stairs after the boys without resorting to crawling, that's baby stuff now. She also also waved to everyone and everything from her perch on Dad which was funny to me behind them since she looked a lot like the Elmo on her diaper peeking out of her shorts. She thoroughly seemed to appreciate Mt. Rushmore as much as any other 16 month old would. :)
