Giveaway #2


We met up with Bob and Mary for dinner Monday night.  On Tuesday, they went to see the sites we had already seen, and we met up for the evening program at Mount Rushmore. Today they are heading to the Badlands, and we are heading to Little Big Horn. We have internet here tonight, but are limited on uploads. I will try to post photos tomorrow. We will probably be entering the land of no internet soon. 
Giveaway #2
I was hoping to come upon some treasure from the Black Hills that everyone would want to possess. All that I saw that was interesting was Red Ass Rubarb Wine. I wasn’t sure that was something anyone would want, so I am sticking with the $5.00 gift card from Sonic. 
Here are the rules:
  1. Answer all ten questions correctly
  2. Send answers to my email to hide your answers. (but continue to comment on the  blog)
  3. All entries must be in by September 2 at 6:00pm CST.
  4. Winner will be chosen by a random draw of correct submissions 
  5. I will get your card to you when I return home.

  1. I will answer the quiz, but I do agree with Dad that an ipad or something like that would make all that learning a little more worth it. ;)

  2. I am very sorry I couldn't meet the deadline and participate in the giveaway. It's been a busy week. I need my mom to come home and help me! Just kidding... I am so glad y'all are having a fun, safe trip. Miss and love y'all.

  4. I , of course know all the answers, even though we may disagree on whether or not they are correct. It's too much work to send them for a $5.00 gift card. I also would do it for an ipad.
    Have fun.

  7. As an iPad owner, and the only one to get my answers in on time... I would just say that you all sound very whiney with your excuses.
