Yesterday we went  to Mt. Rushmore and we saw it up close.  We watched a movie of how it was made.

The guy who had the idea, Mr. Burglum took two years to build nine models and see if this would work on a mountain.  Burglum worked on it with many other men for 14 years before he died.  After he died, he passed the job down to his son. My Mom said: “Only in America you can have such a big, crazy dream and make it come true.”
