Badlands National Park

We stopped first at Badlands National Park and it was blistering HOT. Despite the heat there were a lot of people around the park. After stumbling on a parade at the Corn Palace, we also arrived during the Heritage festival at Badlands. We didn't do any hiking, but we did drive the loop and do some wildlife watching at a HUGE prairie dog town. Lexi slept through a lot of it, and was a pretty good sport in her car seat all week. We got a few good family and wildlife pictures. I posted pictures of my two favorite prairie mammals, Pronghorn Antelope and Prairie Dog.
