Rapid City Day II

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.

We made it to Sylvan Lake 
and decided to rent a canoe!

The scenery was so beautiful!





We grabbed a quick lunch and did some shopping.

Next, we slid down the Rushmore tubing hill.

The tubes went VERY fast!

It was scary but fun!



After that adrenaline rush, we headed to Rush Mountain Adventure Park to ride the mountain coaster.

The views were amazing!

We never used the brakes 
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!

Later that night, we played cornhole

and went to Armadillo’s for some cold treats.

There is so much fun stuff to do in Rapid City!
