Gold panning and golfing

Today I took my nephew for a special day with Auntie. I drove by the Broken Boot gold mine outside of Deadwood a few weeks ago and just knew he would love it. We set off to do the tour then pan for gold and then minature golfing at Gultches of Fun. He loved it all. It was so fun to see how excited he was when he found gold in his rocks. You would have thought he won the lottery. It was great to watch and even better to get to be a part of. He held onto his jar of gold all afternoon and kept placing it in special spots in the car. Then we went miniature golfing and he was super thrilled when he got a hole in one. I couldn't believe it. Freak accident! Or.... was it all skill??? I think not :) We had a great time and on the way home, you would think this kid was four or something because one question after another came from him. And not easy ones mind you. Such as: How did the Indians get to America before anyone else came? and why did we have a civil war? and were we part of the north that won? Oh, here was a good one... Who was the best president? Also, what president is on the quarter? Then we switched to asking about bugs since I have bug splatters on my window. Why do bugs get hit by cars? How come they splatter? Why are there two sides of windows in the restraunt? THere's like two layers and he wants to know why it's double paned glass. Then he switches back to indians again and wants to know why we started being mean to them cause he heard that, at first, we were nice. And on And on. Oh yeah, finally.... he wants to know if I think Adam and Eve were black people. Phew!!! What a ride home!
