Rapid City, South Dakota

Hey peeps its me Colton the guy who is loves cows and scared of a lot of things. So I will be your narrator for this blogger destination in Rapid City, South Dakota. We arrived at the RAP airport in Rapid City at approximately 7:00, and the price for the airplane was $600.00. We went straight to our hotel, the quality inn that cost $229.99 per night, so since we were staying there for two nights and three days, you have to multiply $229.99 by two, which would make a total of $459.98. After that we went swimming in the hotel's swimming pool. When we got there we put on our swimming trunks provided by Lawrence and hippidy hopped into the pools except Colton who saw this cartoon where sharks were in swimming pools so he was scared he would get eaten. We would try to tell him that that stuff was all fake, but he insisted that it was real. After we swam we dried of and went to a car place called enterprise to rent one. We got a Nissan Altima for $121.78 per day for a total of $365.34. Then we went to a restaurant called the corn exchange at 8:30, it was refreshing. Joseph got the chef's favorite for $12.00, Ali got the Vera cruse style for $23.00, Lawrence and Colton got the pan roasted quail for $19.00, for a total of $73.00. We left for our hotel at 9:00 and went to sleep at 10:00. The next morning we went to the watiki hotel at 10:00 where we rode all these cool rides in and indoor water park for a total of $67.80. First we rode this really awesome ride called the super bowl slide where you ride down a gigantic big slide on a two person inner tube and go down and start spinning in circles then splash into the water. We rode that a few more times then went to a food stand called koko's concessions and got hot dogs, chips, and drinks. To top that off super cold ice cream we got ice cream. When we finished we went back to doing the slides. We rode a really cool one where you slide down a tube to your death but splash in the water before you hit the rocks. After we did that we went down the lazy river while we were on the lazy river in our inner tubes, Colton tried to face his fears and get off his inner tubes like Ali, Joseph, and Lawrence had. Colton was immediately swooped away by the current well unfortunately was saved by the life guard who told us to stay on our inner tubes or we wont be able to come back to the lazy river ever again. Next we headed over to the monkey bucket, an attraction that will dump 300 gallons of ice cold water into your bare backs. The smart one Joseph thought that we shouldn't get under the big bucket because it will squish us due to the force of gravity applied on the water and that 300 gallons if ice cold water really hurts because when something gets colder in gets harder. Colton, Lawren too death. Then Lawrence and Ali "accidentally" pushed ce ,and Ali did it anyway. when the water dumped out of the bucket we closed our eyes and felt the freezing water bounce right of of our bare backs. when Joseph saw that we were O.K. he thought that we had super powers only possessed by ultra super heroes. Right after we did that a few more times we went to the hot tub/spa to get a relaxing time in the hot water to refresh our soothing skin. But the hot tub was too hot so we had competitions to see who could withstand the heat of the water the record set by lawrence was a total of 2.3 seconds. Then we had some more chips at koko's concessions. Next after that we dared each other how high we could do belly flops on the high dive. None of us would do it because of the height. So we went back to the lazy river and told the life guard that Colton got the last inner tube so that we could ride without one. While we were in the lazy river Joseph, Lawrence, and Ali decided to play a trick on Colton. So they took out the straws they had saved from the snack bar and went underwater. Colton eventually realized ho could not see his friends so he started to cry. Then Joseph jumped out of the water and scared Colton who again almost drowned but yet again the lifeguard saved Colton who was crying. So the lifeguard bought Colton a pink stuffed dolphin that he could love forever and name Bob. We had to leave because they were going to clean the pools because someone well...... you don't want to know. When we left the watiki hotel it was 6:30 pm so we decided to have a dinner at a place called Minerva's restaurant it was a satisfying meal Ali got the crab cakes for $10.95, Colton got the jumbo cheese toasted ravioli for $15.95, Joseph got the Puget sound crepe for $17.40, and Lawrence got the seafood risotto for $23.95. The price came out to be a total of $63.25. We went back to our hotel at 7:00 and played Ali's ishoot until 10:00 and watched T.V. until 12:00. Then went to sleep and Colton dreamed about super cow. The next morning we went downstairs to eat a breakfast of donuts. then we went back to watiki water park but it was closed so we decided to head to Mount Rushmore to say whats up to the presidents. It cost $10.00 to go there. When we went in we walked to the observation platform to stare at our past presidents. This boring tour guy told us a speech about the presidents of the us on the mountain then told us to go to a place where we learned about the mountain. When we went there we saw a movie that told us about the presidents.... we fell asleep. After that we got board but then saw a advertisement for a crazy horse memorial so we went over there but there was pretty much nothing we could do except stare at an unfinished rock sculpture. So we were board so we decided to check to see if watiki hotel had opened back up. Luckily it had opened so we ran back in to play. Lawrence said he had cucumbers in his backpack so we went to the watiki spa to relax, but the unthinkable happened. The spa was FIXED Ali and Joseph Hated it Colton and Lawrence loved it all, But it turned out to be a mistake, the food was rotten! Plus we were hungry so we needed food so we went to a restaurant called the Asian garden with furry cute pandas there Colton wanted one but the restaurant owner would not let him so we had to leave because Colton went totally phsyco, luckily we already ate, This is what we had. Lawrence got the moo shu chicken for $6.25 Joseph got the Happy family meal for $8.75 which was very happy, Colton got the lemon chicken for $7.95, Ali got the pu pu platter for $7.95 for a pandemonium total of $30.90 at the Asian garden. We went back to our hotel to swim but but it turned out to be closed since it was 12:00 nighttime. So we went to our room and had a big wrestling tournaments but it went wrong because Lawrence farted TOTAL KNOCKOUT. Lawrence all. We woke up to saw hello to our last day in Rapid City we are going to make this count. First we had our Continental breakfast of fruit loops and donuts then fruit salad at our hotel. Then headed off to the Rapid City's reptile garden where we saw the cool reptiles for $56.00 in total first we went to go see the most dangerous snakes exhibit where we got to see cobras and black and green mambas and some snakes could kill a full grown Cow so we had to leave because Colton was bawling on the floor. then we went to go see crocks at their exhibit while Colton went to go see the the harmless snakes in there awesome exhibit. We met up with Colton in the exhibit to tell him that we were going to go to the gift shop called Jungle outpost gift shop where we got totally radical stuff. Colton started out getting a stuffed gecko for $20.95 but he saw a lemon lime so he got that too for a total of $41.90, Lawrence got the bamboo reptile garden T-shirt for $25.00 Joseph got the very pointy New Guniea tribal dance spear for $45.00, and last but certainly least Ali got the snake head shot glass for $12.99 and the crocodile wood carving for 195.00 big bucks. The cashier totally fainted when she saw the grand total of $318.99! After that shopping incident we walked around until we came to a place called the sky dome. It looked cool so we walked in there we saw the rough scaled python that turned out to be the only ones in exhibit in the world besides Australia. We saw terrifying snake that could squeeze you to death. We told Colton that it could kill a cow and he got terrified so he went to go see the parrots and other cool birds like that. Lawrence, Joseph ,and Ali went up to the Mezzizine level where you saw the most exotic and feirce snakes They saw the most fatal snake in the world....The fierce snake. It is a weird name for a deadly snake. Who would name it that!? Next we went to go look at the tropical Flowers of that area.We also saw Mambas and some other cool things. Last before they got Colton they saw the largest turtle fossil ever excavated the skeleton of the Archelon turtle. They went to go get Colton who was trying to get a parrot to saw "Polly want a cracker" but to no avail. So we went back to our hotel to get our stuff get to the RAP airport. The flight will leave at 5:00 and we will get there five hours and fifteen minuets later. The grand total for this trip was $2,275.26. BY!!!!!!!!!!!
