South Dakota: Day 5

Our 5th and final full day in South Dakota was a really busy one! We headed out early to visit Bear Country, and man, was that a cool place! The girls were amazed by all the up-close wildlife, especially a bear who was having a hard time letting any vehicles by! We also really enjoyed seeing the bear cubs in their own enclosure. It was this gift shop where the girls (shockingly! 😉) picked out stuffed animals for souvenirs. Our collection of stuffed animals will never dwindle...

We traveled next to Storybook Island, which was a neat park that had equipment and displays based on popular book characters. The girls had fun running from place to place, but the overall favorite was a teeny tiny train ride they enjoyed!

After lunch, we finished out the day with visiting an indoor glow-in-the-dark mini golf location that also had a maze and gemstone mining outside. We weren't sure how neat this place would be, but it ended up making for a fun afternoon. The girls loved mini golfing, and of course, Geeka won it all! The maze also was fun, and the adults enjoyed watching Aud lead Jack and Kate through the whole thing while we stood above. Their little conversations were precious.

Once again, we had a fabulous day! We were tired but happy while we traveled back to our last night in our little cabin.
