SouthDakota2008: Sammy Takes Grandparents to Mount Rushmore

One of the fun parts of our trip was going to see Mount Rushmore several times. The first time we went, it was just Sammy & us. The second time we took Paul's parents. And the third time we took the rest of the crew. Here are some photos from when Sammy took his grandparents...

Paul's parent's seemed a bit skeptical as they listen to him...
...what is he saying?

Finishing was done with...
...3" holes that were drilled...
...the remains were chiseled out...
...then the surface was ground smooth...
...Paul holds his lens cap close to give an idea of the size of things...
