I know I haven't posted anything for almost a month and I apologize. Since I last posted we have done a lot of exploring and adventuring. I'll start with the most recent, which was today. We went to the Blue Bell Lodge in Custer State Park and went on a Chuckwagon Hayride. It was awesome! We loaded up around 5:30pm and went on an hour long ride through the Wildlife Loop of the park and arrived at our destination in a lovely green valley where the tables were set up and a buffalo was grazing in the distance. Dinner choice was a hamburger or a steak (I chose steak, Laurie chose hamburger) with cowboy beans, potato salad, coleslaw, cornbread, watermelon, chocolate chip cookie, and pink lemonade. Very delicious and filling. The entertainment was Cowboy Keith and Wild Ron who played guitars and sang songs. Oh, and for a keepsake, everyone received a straw hat and a bandana.

On our way to Blue Bell Lodge we drove through the Wildlife Loop of Custer State Park because Laurie was on a burro hunt. We had driven through the park several times and still hadn't seen the burros. They must have known we had carrots today because they were there in force. We even saw a mama and baby! Mama ate a whole bag of carrots and as soon as the carrots were gone, so was she. Moved on to the next sucker with food.
