Rapid City

We went to see a wildlife refuge today.  The first part was driving through.  Instructions were to keep windows down...these animals can actually come up to your car!


The elk were visible from the highway which is what sold us on this place.


The reindeer were smart...all of them sat under the sprinklers.


Of course we had to take pictures of the Ram.  


The mountain lion was amazing!


I got an action shot of the lion chasing a magpie...too bad the fencing is in the way.


Most of the bears were sheltering from the heat.


There were a few in the water...this one was walking right towards us!


The next part was a walk through zoo.


 The walk through portion had smaller animals. 


It was a cool place. 


Our favorite part was watching the Cubs play. 


Emma Bear!


So fun. Even in 100 degree heat. 


Then we hung out at the campground. It finally cooled to 90 degrees so the kids tried the mini golf course. We are getting up bright and early tomorrow to see Mount Rushmore.
