Snakes, why does it have to be snakes…
Keeping Lucas entertained on vacation means finding something different to do each day. Today it was a trip to the Reptile Gardens.
Yes, it’s just like it sounds. It’s a garden full of reptiles. MOST of them are behind glass, but there’s this large “sun dome”, and the idea is to walk around in it, enjoying the thousands of orchids and hundreds of tropical birds. Of course, you must also come to grips with walking under trees where boa constrictors hang.
In spite of those boas, this place has become one of our “must visit” places when we come to the Black Hills. We attended the “Alligator Show”, and it was educational, thrilling and funny.
One guy in a fenced arena, with about 40 alligators (recently fed, I’m guessing), telling us all about alligators and crocodiles. Crike!
After the show, Lucas got to “pet” a miniataure crocodile, and thought that was pretty cool:
Then we drove up to Deadwood, to show Lucas this one hotel that had movie props from Indiana Jones, Terminator, the Mummy and others.
Here he is with the Mummy, MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
