Today we decided to ask a few of our meteorologist friends to join us on a trip to the Badlands to show my parents around. It was a beautiful sunny day with the green grass still brightly growing in the Badlands. We spent plenty of time bounding up and down the shaley formations and convincing Dan to climb higher (not bad for a North Carolinian). I have to say the Badlands is one of my favorite things about South Dakota. Dan was also oddly entranced by the presence of prairie dogs.
Kathy, Josh, Dan and I also braved the Notch trail (which I have always wanted to climb) and made our way up the sketchy ladder to beautiful views on the other side.
It was well worth it!
After all our fun, as the sun was beginning to set, we stopped in Wall for ice cream at Wall Drug. Always a fun place to stop and look around, although we didn't have a lot of time and had to return to Rapid City quickly so Mom and I could get ready for the first annual "Mom Prom". Basically, the "Mom Prom" was a chance for a bunch of ladies to dress up, get together, dance and eat chocolate fondue. The best part was probably the fondue! It was fun, just a little crowded, and I wore out pretty quick so Mom and I headed out and talked for a little while before heading home. All in all, a pretty good day!
