Memorial Weekend Trip- Part 1

We decided to take a spur-of-the-moment trip to Mt. Rushmore for Memorial Weekend. We didn't leave until about noon on Saturday because I had to go visiting teaching Saturday morning.

May 23rd Storybook Island- Rapid City, South Dakota

This is the place to go if you have kids. It has all sorts of things for kids to play on/in. Everything is from Nursery Rhymes, Storybooks, and the movies. Best of all it was FREE! although they do accept donations...



Wesley, Wesley pumpkin eater, had a wife and couldn't keep her,
so he put her in a pumpkin shell and there he kept her very well...


Had to prove he was there... most picture are of Shalon.



Winnie the Pooh

Raggady Ann and Andy
aka Shalon and Cutler

Noah's Ark

Aladdin and Shalon

101 Dalmations

Jack and Jill's hill

The train... Shalon's in the last car

One thing I thought was really cool about this place it was wheelchair friendly. They had a swing for wheelchairs and also the cabbose on the end of the train was for someone in a wheelchair. There was also a playground just for kids 5 and under.
If you go to visit Mt. Rushmore you must take your kids here.

Bobby actually went here when he was little. I knew I'd heard of it before when you were talking to me. Bobby had some pictures in his photo album and he told me about storybook island. It looks fun!
