The Corn Palace in Mitchell, SD

They were mounting some flags on top of the Corn Palace so we were able to watch the fire engine ladder and crew.

Back to Interstate 90 straight east.

We stopped at the Outdoor Campus  in Souix Falls and just happened to get there right at 10:30 when ta class on BB guns was starting.  Class was from 10:30 – 12.

Scott and I checked out the Outdoor Campus and even a Butterfly Garden across the parking lots while the kids were in class.

Lunch was hot dogs under a unique picnic shelter in the middle of six different parks.

Brooke showed me a sundial. We could have easily made an entire day out of this park if we had more time.

Much to the kids’ dismay we had to leave Sioux Falls around 1pm to head home.

Brooke read her Series of Unfortunate Events and Cody played on his tablet and with Legos.  He was happily playing with his Legos and making sound effects when I asked Scott to take a picture since I was driving.  Cody doesn’t like photos so the cute sound effects stopped since he now knew we were listening.  The kids created a fort in the van.  The gets did fairly well being in the car close to ten hours in one day.

Official Arrival Time: 11 pm
