Mom came on the 26th of June, and that Saturday we went to Reptile.Gardens in Rapid.City for some family fun.  
Here we have the kids & Grandma Pancakes (not sure who is more excited) as we arrived at Reptile.Gardens. Princess loved the giant turtles, Boo didn't think so much of them.  I thought it to be interesting that 1 of the 3 was 128 years old!

Do you see my Princess' little hand on that BIG snake? Apparently Boo was brave for Daddy and actually touched Marilyn too! Just because I am a tourist at heart!

Boo needed Daddy's presence to be brave Maniac, a 15.5 foot/1250 pound crocodile, was pretty impressive.  His head was much bigger than my children!  See his story here.

 It was a fun day, but seriously, any tourist thing we do with my mother is fun...she is just a big kid!
