World's Largest Crayon1589 viewsThis is evidently the World's Largest Crayon. And unlike other "world's largest" things (the Louisville Slugger's Bat comes to mind) that aren't a real product but just look like one, this one's really a wax crayon. Evidently they had kids send in their stubby blue crayons and then melted them in to this bohemouth.

Black Hills Petrified Forest1520 viewsOn our last day, after driving through Spearfish Canyon, we made a last-minute decision to visit the Petrified Forest in Piedmont. It was a worthwhile stop, as you don't see this amount of petrified wood everyday!

Inside the Deere Collectors Center1514 viewsInside the collectors center. We spent quite a bit of time here. Each tractor is on loan from the owner, and they get new exhibits rotating through periodically.

John Deere Collectors Center1457 viewsMore beautifully restored tractors at the Collectors Center. There were also some old John Deere signs on the walls as you can see in this picture.

Minuteman Missile1456 viewsWe made a very brief stop at the South Dakota Air and Space Museum. I say brief because our literature said it closed at 6pm, and when we got there (at about 3:20) we found it closed at 4pm. This museum, which is free, contains a large number of historic aircraft.

Door installed and Trim Priming1434 viewsThe next step was to install the roll-up door, which was fairly straightforward, and install the trim around the opening. Then we needed to finish priming all of the bare wood. The siding was pre-primed, but all of the trim, soffits, and fascia boards needed priming. Here Cathy primes the trim near the roll-up door.

Shed Rear Framing1399 viewsHere's a view from the rear of the shed. The trusses made roof construction simple -- just place them and nail them up (bracing them temporarily with some scrap wood). At this stage the gables still need to be framed out a bit wider so there will be a slight overhang on the gable ends.

Bouncy Seat1383 viewsThis bouncy seat was a godsend for William and now for Andrew. It vibrates, plays soothing music and makes bubbles, and calms down a baby really well.

Mr. Rogers Trolley1376 viewsSomeone evidently sent the trolley through the "Honey I Blew Up the Kids" device.
