They Have Parks in South Dakota?

A couple of weekends ago we traveled to South Dakota to visit Amanda’s family. Flying to Rapid City wasn’t too bad. It was Bella’s first time on a plane and Noah acted like a frequent flyer watching movies on the portable DVD player.

We stayed at Amanda’s grandparents’ house in Rapid City. While in Rapid we visited Story Book Island, which is a huge park filled with storybook characters and scenes from all the classics. We also stopped by Dinosaur Park, which had great views of the city. To go along with our park tour of Rapid City, we fed the geese and ducks at Canyon Lake Park.

Of Course we went down to the Whidby Ranch in Kadoka, where Noah got to see the cows, horses, dogs, and deer. His favorite with Aunt Denise’s English Bulldog, Sophie. I’ve never seen a dog take so much from a little kid and not bat an eye. Those are definitely dogs suitable for toddlers. And, yes, we did go to the Kadoka city park. I think we’re addicted to them.

We surely enjoyed our time in South Dakota and can’t wait to go back!
