Melissa was suppose to arrive Friday evening but due to plane mechanical problems that would make her miss the connecting flight to Rapid City, her arrival was postponed until Saturday. As always, we were very happy to see and hug our beloved daughter.
The days' planned activities were slowed by John feeling pretty crummy. We were able to get the prerequisite drive around the Custer Wildlife Loop where we saw antelope, deer, bison,. What would the drive be without feeding the burros . . . or in this case, burro.
John and Melissa were going to go on a Trail Ride Sunday morning while I worked my shift but John was not feeling up to it. Actually, it was a good thing because it started to rain just as they would have been heading out and it rained for several hours.
The days were low keyed and we managed to fit in several hands of Wizard and Shanghai. Melissa was certainly on a winning streak (all time high at Wizard) until which time her dad started feeling a bit better.
I now know that PIGS CAN FLY. How could I know such a thing? Because here is a picture of Melissa with her fishing license!
Today, on the way to Rapid City to take Melissa to the airport, we stopped at Bear Country USA. This was on her list of must do's. It is always lots of fun to watch the antics of the baby bears.
We planned her visit months ago and here it has come and gone. It sure was nice having her around for a few days.
