South Dakota Road Trip Day 3



Custer SD to Rapid City SD: a whole lot of indian stuff :)

Our first stop today was at Crazy Horse monument. It was really cool. We didn't go in because the whole point is this statue that the indians are making for a memorial to crazy horse and since we could cheat and see it from the road we saved the 30 or so dollars and got a picture from the road. 





next stop was at Custer State Park. Inside this park is Sylvan Lake. this is the lake where National Treasure Two was filmed. It was really nice!!! Blake and I got to go on a Paddle Boat Ride. 




Me putting my hand in the same place as in the movie :)  









this is Sylvan Lake. 





Blake and I were trying to find my parents after getting done with our paddle boat ride and suddenly a freak lightning and rain storm came out of nowhere! We spent the next half hour trying to find our parents.  We finally made it to the car and we got stuck in a hail storm! I'd never seen hail this big before! 








Finally the hail stopped and we got to see a whole bunch of animals! We saw buffalo, a ground hog, turkeys and what they call "begging burros". pretty much they are donkeys that expect you to feed them. they were really fun! Below are some pictures from that. 







Later that evening we arrived in Rapid City. We went Bowling (Blakes activity (he picked that because we didn't want to go pain balling.)) We also swam in our pool at the hotel. Tomorrow, Reptile Museum, Bear Country and Mt. Rushmore. :)
