Weekend in Rapid City.



 We enjoyed a weekend in Rapid City, SD.  We enjoyed a visit to Mt. Rushmore...they've added a few things since I was there last.  
   After Mt. Rushmore we went to Reptile Gardens in hopes that Nolan would get enough of a lizard fix that he would stop asking for one when we get into our new house...ahem...no such luck.
Elliot liked the bird!


Standing in front of Gus the American alligator!

Think this guy would fit into the category of; when they were handing out brains he thought they said trains and picked a slow one.




Prairie dog farm at reptile gardens....I wondered why they had this at reptile gardens but than got to thinking maybe they are raising food for all those snakes.....

On the way home we stopped at this beautiful spot for a break.  The water was so clear you could see all the trout swimming around!

We stumbled upon a geochache while we were walking around there.  The kids were bummed we wouldn't let them take the piece of candy in there...

One of our favorite places to go. This year we didn't go through there. After Chugwater, we decided to head down by Autumn & Phil in Denver instead.
