More Sights - Rapid City Day Two (cont)

After the monuments, we hit some of the sites within Rapid City. We went to the Dinosaur Park (kinda lame).

Then we headed to Storybook Island - a park meant for little kids but it was dang cute and we loved the novelty of it!


They had scenes out of children's literature. Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer were on a raft on a river. There was a tall castle with Rapunzel's hair hanging from a turret window. We saw Barney, Little Bo Beep, 3 men in a tub, and so on. There was Cinderella and her pumpkin carriage. There was a house made of straw, a house made of sticks, and a house made of bricks. Of course, the wolf was trying to get down the chimney of the house made of bricks.

I was having camera problems but managed to get this pic of Robin Hood on the castle roof.


After that we did an art walk. We saw statues of all the Presidents of the United States. We also walked down art alley where graffiti is legal and encouraged. Some of the artwork was just your average tagging but lots of it was amazing!

Then we had a relaxing evening at the hotel watching game shows, Monk, and reading. More sleeping in the next day before flying back home. Rides, Rushmore, reading, and relaxing - that about sums it up!
