Rapid City, SD

We're not going to get much of a family vacation this year with the kids work schedules and such so we decided to take a couple days and go to Rapid City. We had so much fun. It was great just being together.

BEAR COUNTRY
This place is awesome. Bears, wolves, Bison, Reindeer, Elk come right up to your car. And then you walk through babyland and see all the cubs. This was the highlight of the trip for me!








REPTILE GARDENS
Reptile garden's was way fun. Especially the alligator show. This guys was hilarious. He was showing us how to "subdue" an alligator (like we would ever need to) and was totally sweaty and exhausted by the end. When he was feeding them he got cornered by about 5 and got a little nervous buy worked his way out. Brooklynn got to be part of the bird show and held a baby boa constrictor. McKenzie and Londyn about freaked!! They HATE snakes. The huge alligator behind glass was shipped in from Australia cause he kept eating the other alligators he was caged with. He was scary.
