We decided to pack a TON into our very first day in South Dakota. We hit Bear Country (Gavin and I's favorite thing), Reptile Garden, drove to Deadwood, onto Sturgis, back to Deadwood and ate dinner. Finally home. It was a packed day, but I think the best overall.
Gavin and I loved loved loved Bear Country, he got to sit up front with us and drive through the park. We saw so many cool animals, but by far the bears were our fave. There were so many and they would just walk right up to the car, walk in front of the car, follow us, etc. Gavin really liked the brown bears. I liked the baby bears, they were normally running around, but by the time we got to them they were all sleeping. Very cute.
Reptile Garden was probably my least favorite thing to do. The name says it all, Reptile. I am not a fan and I swear they had the biggest snakes/pythons I have ever seen, or tried not to see. Makes me shudder just thinking about it now. But Greg and Gavin liked it. We did see the biggest crocodile (Maniac) and turtles I have ever seen. Those were kinda cool.
Our trip to Sturgis was uneventful, it was actually pretty blah. We were obviously there 6 weeks too early. Deadwood was cool, we did get stuck in a flash flood on our way to the car, it was a little crazy for about 10 minutes. I did blow a whooping $10 on a slot machine.
Overall our first day was wonderful! More to come!
