We started bright and early this morning. Maybe too early - we are wearing these kids out! But, they were all excited to see the animals at Bear Country USA. I had some misgivings about supporting an establishment that traps and
sequesters animals, but...we do have a pass to the zoo that we use
frequently and this place is probably more 'wild' than that. We have never been to a place like this before, so we were curious to see what it was all about.
The kids absolutely loved it! Kate went crazy over the wolves. Guard likes the bears and deer. And Enoch loved it all.
The bears were very active and came right up to the motor home. They were not shy at all. Guard would squeal every time one would walk by his window. And so many bears! Dozens of them! They were very fun to watch, but the bear cubs in the nursery were the best. They were so cute and playful. The kids watched them for about 30 minutes.
We had a great time at Bear Country USA!
After Bear Country, we pulled off to the side of the parking lot where there was a grassy area with some picnic tables and we had lunch - grilled cheese and tomato soup. It was very good on a breezy day.
After lunch we drove to the South Dakota Air Force Base Museum. Guard was exhausted and fell asleep during the drive, so I stayed in the motor home with him and took a nap too while the rest wandered around the planes. I think they had fun?! I know that Enoch scraped up his hand badly after a fall and we stopped at Walgreen's for ointment and band aids on our way home.
