Our second full day in Rapid City started with a trip to Jerry’s Donuts.

All of the donuts were so soft and delicious. Favorites were banana, peanut butter with chocolate, the apple fritter and the cherry donuts.

Next we went to Custer State Park. We drove the wildlife loop and saw a few bison and some very friendly burros.

We drove down Needles Highway which has several narrow tunnels you have to drive through.

until we needed to stop at the end.

Our next stop was at Nerdy Nuts where the girls got to create their own peanut butters. First, they chose different flavors of peanuts to grind.

They got to mix in sauces and toppings.
Harper chose no less than 30 toppings!

They sealed and labeled the jars,
then got to color the labels.

We had so much fun at Nerdy Nuts and the peanut butters are both super tasty!
