Story Book Island, again

While in Wyoming, my mom and I went to a Celtic Women Concert. Originally, my dad was going to go, but he offered me a ticket to go instead. I think he was a little relieved that I said yes! So while my mom and I enjoyed Celtic music and dancing, Spencer and Papa had the job of entertaining the kids.
They took the kids to Story Book Island in Rapid City. Every time my kids visit Nana and Papa, they go to Story Book Island, but it never gets old. They love it.

Story Book Island is a park full of storybook character toys and slides. No matter how old they get, they seem to find this place fascinating.

Tate makes a pretty princess!

 
Every time grand kids come for a visit my parents take  them to Story Book Island. I'm sure it gets very boring for them to do the same thing over and over, but we appreciate the time they take to spend with the kids. 
I think Papa needed to take a break from all the excitement for a few minutes!

The favorite part of the whole park is the little train at the end. I have pictures of them riding this from when they were very little!



Even Ayden likes to go for a ride, but sadly I think this is probably his last year finding this entertaining in any way. They grow up too fast.

  1. You know I have still never been there. I would love to take my nieces and nephews someday. It seems like a right of passage if you are from that area. How I have never made it in my nearly 30 years is shocking and shameful lol. Love the pictures! Your dad cracks me up!
