Mysterious phenomena, baby animals, and Cabela's

A beautiful bright day so we knew we were going to get out and about. We decided to visit the Cosmos Mystery Area. To quote their website "a natural phenomena that is intriguing and mind boggling." Their normal adult admission is $9.50 with our VIP pass we were charged $5 each. Even at that reduced rate, we felt it was a rip-off. There is a lot of optical illusions that come in to play. We weren't impressed but the kids there got a kick out of it. Here is a link to their website if you care to check them out.

From there we drove up the road a little further to Old McDonald's Farm. Who can resist cute baby animals . . . not I. The farm has this suspension bridge that the goats climb up on. At first, I thought they were fake but they aren't. They also aren't "rabbits" as the sign states below them. They did have come cute bunnies there also along with baby chicks.

Interesting looking rooster, isn't he?

I love geese so here are a cute picture. We were able to feed both of them. The small one was a very gentle eater.

Strange looking turkey.
Feed me! No, feed me! The impatient babies just came through the fencing while the adults had to wait their turn.
A Draft Horse; he was huge but so gentle.

Pig races . . . my chosen pig came in second. They were in a hurry to get to the cherry flavored kool aid.

Llama's

We saw ponies, baby lambs, calves and lots of chickens. We had a good time and so did all the kids and parents we saw.

From here we headed into Rapid City and grabbed a bite to eat. We then went to Cabela's (a first for us). Boy, it was one of their smaller stores but they had a lot of everything. We found the gas lighters we like and bought us two. They had beautiful full body mounts of all creatures small and large (even a moose and polar bear). We really enjoyed going through their store. Their competitor, Scheels, also has a terrific store here in Rapid City.

Once we were done browsing, we decided we should do a large shop at Safeway (selection is better and so are prices) than the store in Custer which is good for quick stops. We got home and were still able to enjoy a little of sunshine before the clouds started moving back in. Such is being in the Midwest while it is still spring. One thing for sure, all the rain certainly has made the area beautifully green.
