While in South Dakota, we visited South Dakota's #1 roadside attraction, Wall Drug. It's a store that has turned into a huge complex of different shops, a soda fountains, a bunch of picture taking opportunities and lots of touristy stuff. It was pretty fun. A lot of things were closed there since its the off season (like the ice cream place), but we still had fun. Here are a bunch of pictures...
Little Mount Rushmore
Matthew and Anna thought it was too cold to check out the outdoor attractions (see Little Mount Rushmore above) so they sat inside and waited.
I found this in the toy store...this one's for my mom :)
I had this game as a kid but I haven't seen it much since.
Everyone liked the guns
Wall Drug advertises "free ice water" on a lot of their freeway signs and has a big sign outside that says they are "the ice water store." I can appreciate that. Ice water is one of my favorite things, and by far my favorite drink. I don't know that many ice water lovers so I had to take a picture for myself.
Biffalo Buffalo Bisons everywhere
So Wall Drug is cool and worth a stop if you are passing through Wall, South Dakota on I-90.
You could get some free ice water!
And back at our hotel
Our hotel was attached to a little waterpark (Watiki) and we had planned a whole day to take the kids there to play. They all decided they were done after 45 minutes. Oh well. Scott took Matthew and Anna back later for a few more trips down the slides and around the lazy river. It was fun, but they will probably like those kinds of things better when they are older and can swim better.
Even Johnny got in on the fun. His least favorite thing was when he got sprayed in the face by some fountains at the lazy river...most favorite? Getting to share an inner tube with Mom and Anna. Fun times. Thank you South Dakota for some fun times. Don't know when we'll be back...but I can check that state off my list now.
