South Dakota - Day 4

Today was all about animals. We started with Reptile Gardens. Jaelyn showed no fear when it came to the reptiles!

Yeah, they have prairie dogs at Reptile Gardens, go figure.

This is Fluffy, the baby alligator.

Here, we are touching a Burmese python.

After the Reptile Gardens, Jaelyn was exhausted. She fell quickly asleep as we drove down the road to Bear Country USA. It was a crazy busy day at Bear Country and it was packed! However, it gave Jaelyn a great chance to catch a snooze. She woke up when the animals were showing up. What fun!

You can see the edge of the window in this photo. No zoom was needed to get this close up of the bear!

Jaelyn loved seeing the 'Buffloats.'

After the drive through Bear Country, we headed to the baby animal area. The baby bears were the cutest!

After an exciting time at Bear Country, we decided to call it a day. We went back to the hotel, spent some time swimming, took a little rest and then went out to dinner. It was great to have a slower paced evening and much needed.
