After seeing Mount Rushmore, we stayed in Andy Ollerton's house. Andy was Jer's best friend growing up. It was fun to see them reminisce. He lives in Sioux Falls, SD. We went to play at the park, had hot dogs and pizza for dinner and chatted until all hours of the night.
We needed to stretch our legs on the way out, I searched for something along our route where we could get out and stretch. We found the Corn Palace. It was funny and a great place to get the kids attention and play for a minute. It's all decorated with corn. Of course we bought popcorn from the corn palace to eat in the car. They had the same type of tractor that my grandpa Ellis taught me to drive when I was Ada's age. I was pleased to be able to look at it and remember most of it even though I haven't driven one for 20 some odd years.
Evelyn and Andy's daughter decided that they were immediate and fast friends. It was super cute.
The kids saw lightning bugs and heard cicadas for the first time. They all liked the lightning bugs and only half liked the cicadas.
