2015 Trip to SD: Hitting the road & Bear Country

At the end of July, we took a family vacation to South Dakota, hoping to see the stone faces, some bears & snakes, among other things!

Construction at the Dam on Lake Sakakawea

 

 

Spillway was completely dry and lots of construction going on there!

 

Some people finally gave it up further south into North Dakota and took a nap....

 

And someone had already taken their nap so he enjoyed the silence! :)

 

We drove through Bear Country

 

As we waited in line to get into Bear Country, on the radio came a song: "Dancing Bear"

...how appropriate!

 

Some of the pics of animals we saw...

 

Reed napped almost all the way through! 

 

Reed's favorite thing to do at any and every animal....cough/yell at them. Good thing he woke up for walking around the animals at the end to do this!
