Reptile Gardens - Rapid City, SD - With Flowers!

Please don't be scared off by reptiles, I've got some lovely flowers mixed in here with some lovely reptiles.  This tourist trap was fantastic, we all absolutely loved it!  We started out first thing with a bird show (where Calla was chosen from the audience to help with the show!) Then went right to a snake show followed by a alligator/crocodile show!  It was all great timing.  Then we visited the grounds and buildings where there were many reptiles obviously but also fantastic floral landscaping. Beware...I took a ton of pictures.  Eric took this first one though and not at Reptile Gardens...

After an extremely eventful morning at our hotel (ask me about that too if you'd like a story!) we had to find lunch before starting our day.  Naturally, I turned to Tripadvisor....not sure if I mentioned that yet but I used Tripadvisor a TON planning this trip!  Would you believe that the #1 place to eat in Rapid City is a food truck called Nosh??  It wasn't difficult to find, we just checked their Facebook page and they had literally three options on their menu but it was FANTASTIC!!!  Gannon and I had the fish tacos, Eric had beef tacos and the girls had the kids meal quesadillas!  Served with rice or a chilled bean salad that was awesome and a soda. This place was a winner!

                                                             Ha! Hello audience!

         They had a pigeon go between her hand and the other kid's hand several times.  Great fun!

Everyone in the audience had the opportunity to give Queenie a dollar!
